You Only Turn One Once...

McKenzie's first birthday party was on November 1st, the day before her birthday. She hung out with some of her best buddies...

opened presents (she's in there, I promise)...

and had some cake. Her Aunt Jamie made her a fun garden cake with cupcake flowers and everything!!

We had a Graden Picnic in November. Everyone brought their blankets and some brought lawn chairs...some played frisbee, others took naps but everyone had a good time.

Maybe too good of a time....

After lunch, everyone headed to the Pot a Plant table where they all filled a cup with "mud" (pudding) and planted flower cookies, gummy worms and gummie bugs that had guts goosh out when you bit into them...YUM!!

Kenz tasted her cake in little bits but didn't really dig into it...she decided that painting herself with frosting would be much better that stuffing her face with cake.

First Halloween

McKenzie had her first Halloween this year. We started the evening with some door to door Trick-or-Treating with a few of her cousins. Kenz spent most the time in the wagon. When the kids would run from door to door she would just giggle!!

Then we went and got some more candy and Grandma and Grandpa Hennessy's Trunk or Treat. There we met up with most of our Hennessy cousins to see all of their costumes and loads of candy.

Kenz got a glow stick at one of the trunks and wouldn't put it down the entire night. It started to rain so her, daddy, Noah (cousin) and Uncle Dawson took cover until the rain blew over.

Finally, at the end of the night, Kenz got her first taste of candy. Her eyes got wide and she looked at me as though she had just dicovered the most incredible thing ever!!
