Makenna's 4th Birthday!

Nine days after Hudson turned 2, Makenna turned 4. She was SO excited for her birthday, and talked about it everyday for weeks.

We started the morning with some Lucky Charms, and silly faces.

Then we made and decorated cupcakes. Makenna very carefully put sprinkles on all of the cupcakes.

After Hudson's nap, we headed to the zoo, where John met us. It was the warmest day of the week, and as we went to the zoo during the last 2 hours that it is open, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. It was so fun to just let the kids run around and not have to worry about losing them in a crowd. It was also feeding time at the zoo, so we got to see a lot of very active animals. Our favorites were the bats that were flying everywhere.

After the zoo, Makenna picked McDonald's for dinner, and then it was time to head home for cupcakes and presents.

We bought Makenna a Leapster Explorer, which she absolutely loves. Hudson was pretty interested in it as well. I have a feeling that we may have to get him one also in a year or two. I love how the games are fun and educational. This is how Makenna spent the rest of her birthday night...playing her Leapster.
