We did things a little differently this year for Makenna's birthday. Josh and I decided that 5 years old was old enough to finally have a friend party so we gave Makenna the option and of course she jumped at the chance! So instead of the huge family party we typically throw every year, she had a friend party on Saturday and her grandparents came over for dinner on the actual day of her birthday. Makenna requested hamburger pizza for dinner, we had a veggie tray with all of her favorite veggies and she helped me make Oreo cupcakes (the big cake was being saved for the friend party). It was a very nice, laidback evening and the girls enjoyed some extra special attention from their grandparents.

In typical Makenna fashion, she was so good about sharing everything with Maryn and including her in on the present opening fun!
Checking out all the new stuff!
I love how my kids get so excited over the simplest things! Makenna showing off her new Tinkerbell band-aids!
