Makenna Turns One!

That's right, our little Makenna aka Bay, Bacon, the Baconator, BayKenna, princess snuggle, Miss Snuggles-a-lot, etc... turned one last Friday. We had a little party with the grandparents and our siblings (so if you weren't invited, please don't be mad, we just can't fit that many people in our house because our immediate families are so big.) I made her a caterpillar cake that I think turned out pretty cute. It wasn't really hard, but it did take me about 5 hours to make. Being the little princess that she is, Makenna loved all the attention she got!(: A special thank you to our parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters that were able to come and celebrate with us. I really can't believe that she is already one. She sure gave us a run for our money the first few months of her life, with her colic and reflux, but I'm glad we stuck it out and kept her.(: Most of her eating problems seems to working themselves out now that she is eating table food. She has the sweetest smile you've ever seen and her big blue eyes just melt my heart. She loves to dance and it's hilarious to watch her "rock out" to the music. She loves Sadie! One of the things I love the most about her is that she is such a little snugglebug! Parker was never very snuggly so I'm soaking up all the snuggles I can get. She's already a HUGE flirt! She usually has whoever is sitting behind us in church totally in love with her by the end of sacrament meeting. We love our little girl and feel so lucky to have her! She is my constant reminder that life does go on and that blessings do come even during the most difficult trials. I know that she is a very special girl and that my mother had a hand in her coming to our family. Happy Birthday my sweet Makenna Stephanie Barnes!
