McKinley's 9th birthday

McKinley's birthday celebrations tends to last a long time!  We start with bringing treats in to school...and that's usually a few days early because school gets out before her actual birthday.  Then this year we celebrated presents a few days early because she and I were going to see Grandma Libby in Washington and wouldn't be home on her actual birthday.  She also had a little cheerleading camp for her birthday party with a few other girls, which was a blast!  (Thanks Whitney!)  And then, she got cake and a giant balloon at Grandma's on her actual birthday.  Nana brought over a present a few days after we came home, the Primary at church gave her a card and a treat, and just yesterday her Sunday school teachers brought over a card and treats too!  Wow...she really celebrated! 

Of course we celebrated McKinley's birthday....she is an adorable little girl.  She is so witty and funny, she is super smart, and very kind.  She is a thoughtful, gentle soul, with a very good heart.  We are so lucky to have our (not so) little girl in this family.  We love you McKinley!
