Party!

It's unbelievable to think our little Makenna is now one! Time sure flies by and we love her more and more each day.

We celebrated with family on Saturday and Makenna had a blast being the center of attention. She loved the cake and did a pretty good job opening presents.

Thanks Connie for the cake and all the grandparents and great-grandparents for her great toys and sweet winter outfit. Hopefully she will grow a little before the snow flies!

If you like The Office......

We watched the office last night. I like the show most of the time, but last night's was so funny at the end Allison and I were both crying.

Here's a link to the clip in case you missed it, or just want to re-watch it....

Climbing

Makenna's new favorite thing to do is to climb on and into things.
