Yes, she really is 3!

Here is the birthday girl, McKenna, who turned 3 at 4:53 p.m. on Monday 6/4:


Needless to say, she is a joy to have around and earns her nickname "Good-time Gal" daily.
(The nickname was bestowed upon her by Ms. Wadley when she was only a couple of months old.)

McKenna asked for a party at the local gymnastics place. They do a fantastic job and the kids always have a great time. The problem is they didn't call Mommy back... so on Friday morning I finally gave up and called a couple of McKenna's friends to come and join us on Monday afternoon for a party and cookout. On Monday, I took McKenna to the grocery store to pick out a cake (no, I didn't even order a cake! must be mellowing after having 3 kids...) and McKenna picked out her cookie cake. Wasn't interested in the princess cakes, the funky colored cupcakes or anything else... just the cookie. And lucky for me, they still write on the cake if you pick it up at the last minute...

So even though it was organized at the last minute, McKenna still had a fantastic time with her friends at her Princess/Dora/Scooby-Doo/Cookie party...
