So much has happened since I last was able to blog back on October 28 (the girls 4 month birthday) so I'm going to start where I left off and try and catch up throughout this week as I can...
Saturday October 29 we were all invited to Green Acres Farm to celebrate our precious Niece and Goddaughter Olivia's 3rd birthday. This was such an awesome place to take kids...they have all types of fun activities for families and this was the perfect place for a fall birthday party. The problem for us however was that when we first arrived there something scared Makayla so badly that we could not do anything to calm her down. Her little lip was so far puckered out and she was hysterical...it was so sad!!! I took her to the car and tried to feed her and spent quite a bit of time in there trying to calm her, but nothing seemed to work. (Carl took a picture of me in the car since I was out there so long)
We knew if she would just fall asleep that she would calm down. We did not want to leave though so Carl put Makayla in her car seat, bundled her up, put the visor up, and began to swing her with his arm. As long as she was swinging back and forth she was calm...hallelujah! So we were finally able to join in on the festivities just in time for the cake cutting and to sing happy birthday. After that it was time for us to pack up and leave...Carl had surprises in store for me that evening for my upcoming birthday and it was time to get the girls out of there. Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy all that Green Acres Farm had to offer, but we look forward to taking the girls there next year. It was great to see our friends and family at the party, but I really wish we could have spent more time together and enjoyed it more, but hey thats the way it goes and our kids come first! Thankfully Carl and Makenzie were able to enjoy the party a little more and Carl was able to get some pictures of things for me. All that matters is that the birthday girl had a fun party and she definitely did! I still can't believe she is already 3 years old?!?! She was such a cute little lady bug!
Makenzie says Happy birthday Cousin Olivia and share some of that cake with me!!!
