MAKAYLA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

Well we had Makayla's birthday party yesterday. not really much of a party, we went swimming at the new Washington City recreation Center, it was WAY fun!, and then we had some friends(the Wilkins, Kerstens, and Maycocks, and of course Grandma and Grandpa) over for cake. So not the big hoopla, but we had alot of fun, and she got SPOILED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

THIS WAS THE COOLEST THING. IT IS A NECKLACE, WITH AN OYSTER THAT YOU OPEN UP AND TAKE YOUR PEARL OUT OF, AND THEN PUT INSIDE THE NECKLACE. SHE LOVED IT AND IT IS SO SPECIAL! I WANT ONE:)

She got lots more presents that she loves, but my computer is running REAL slow, and it took me all day to get these pictures loaded, so I am not adding any more. But she got LOTS of fun gifts! And had a GREAT day!!!!
