We hit a little snag in making sure Makenna had her new bed on her birthday. We picked it up on Saturday but didn't look at it until Sunday night. Travis realized we didn't have the side boards which is a huge problem. I was upset because we wanted to surprise her ON her birthday. I was hoping that they just didn't give us the second box and called as soon as they opened. And thankfully, that is what happened!! I picked it up on the way home from pedicures and we were all set!
We had her headboard and foot board sitting right in the living room covered by the blanket all weekend. Makenna kept sneaking peaks but she still didn't figure out what it was;) Jordyn liked using one of the boxes as her little chair.
Makenna's last night in her little toddler bed. Her feet go all the way to the end!
And now she looks so small in her big girl bed! She was so excited and moving all around her bed that all the pics I have are fuzzy;)
I took the girls for a bike ride while Travis put it together. Then we told her we had a surprise for her......
She kept saying that she was so proud of us! Silly girl!

Pedicures, lunch and great friends;)
I think Makenna's birthday (or rather weekend;) was a lot of fun. I think I will have to blog backwards and start off with today. Instead of a huge party, we opted for some one on one with the birthday girl again and do fun stuff just with her. It is so much fun and so much less stress for the parents. I think I will do a party again when she starts school. So, I will enjoy these times with her now. I love it as much as she does.
Today, I took her to get pedicures with Sarah and Bella. This just happened to be their last day before returning to Texas so they were in town!! It was great that we were able to be with them on her birthday. Bella and Makenna get along so well. I really wish she could play with her more. They were both crying that they wanted to go to the other one's house to play and that they didn't want to leave. It was so sweet.
Anyway, Makenna wasn't too hot on the pedicures at first. She was freaked out about sticking her feet in the water. She kept whining and whining. So, finally I told her to just sit on my lap and we wouldn't stick her feet in the water. She really wanted her toesies painted but didn't want to go through it. Silly girl. She is going to look back on this and laugh;)
Bella was a pro. She sat so well and soaked her feet.
Sarah getting her toes done;)
And Makenna finally getting hers done. The lady was clipping her toenails and she said, "oh, it's just like you do it mommy!"
She gave her a nice little massage. I think she felt silly that she had a fit;)
They are turning pink!!
Getting them dry and finally with a smile on her face!
Our cute curly girls. Sarah made that shirt for Makenna (and one for Jordyn too) and she loves it. She kept saying that she loves her new shirt. I think they are adorable!
Yay for pedicures!
After our appointment, we got some lunch and headed over to Sunset park. They loved watching the ducks and playing on the slides.
I have a pic of this when they were both one.....ahh!
Sarah's mom joined us later with Aube and Bubba (Sarah's brother). They were so cute by the lake but made us all very nervous. They just kept getting way too close. It was a nice big drop.
