The Unbirthday Party

The last post was a preface to this post.....

Yesterday, July 8th, Makenzie finally got to have a friend birthday party. Now before you start judging my abilities as a mom, let's get something straight. The child DID have a birthday party, and we did do something as a family in February. But as far as a friend party, we waited until something really special came along (like a break from school so Mom had time to plan it :-))

Makenzie's first and only American Girl doll is Kit Kittredge. She chose Kit, because they are very similar in looks with the blonde hair, blue eyes, and freckles. Thankfully, Hollywood decided to create a G-Rated movie about Kit and it came out just in time to have a great "Un"Birthday party for Makenzie.

Her guests were two friends from school~ Emma and Eden; three cousins~ Maguina, Caroline,and Ana; two "Best Friends" Middle Schoolers Catie Beth and Allison; and of course, her two darling siblings; Madison and Mason.

Catie Beth and Allison are sweet to still come to a 3rd grader's birthday party.... :-)

We met at Chili's for lunch...... and then went to see the Kit movie. By the way... it is an excellent, clean movie that I highly recommend seeing~

One last picture after the movie.

Stan was relieved that Mason was the only one without an American Girl doll~~

I had to include this to remind myself that they do NOT fight 100% of the time. Only 99.8%....

Only 7 more months until PARTY TIME again. My new slogan is "In time for '09"!!!!!

I will not be late, so get off my back~~~ :-)
