The gift that keeps on giving!

Makenzie has wanted her cartilage pierced for a while now, so we decided it would be a fun Christmas surprise for her. Troy couldn't watch, and she didn't flinch!

One of Those Things ...

I really can't remember when this started, and it is something I usually forget about, but Makenzie will. not. eat. with a metal utensil. Isn't that the strangest thing you have ever heard?

A child with strange habits and fears ... where did she come from?

Happy Birthday, Makenzie!

We love you more than you will ever know.

I hope your day was First Place!

(enjoying enduring her 14 minutes under the bed!)

A New Do!

So love the new do,

so not loving how grown up you look!

I will never ...

Is it just me or does it seem odd that the girl who despises scrapbooking (it makes her anxious and gives her a headache!) applied and was one of 20 students accepted to the 2009-2010 yearbook staff? I am SO excited! Maybe, we shouldn't tell her that the yearbook is a big scrapbook for the entire school! And, we definitely shouldn't tell her she might be turning into her mother! :o) I will just tell her, "Congratulations. I am so proud and excited for you, Makenzie!"
