Birthday Girl

If you weren't at Future Fuel Park yesterday afternoon, then you missed the biggest birthday bash of the year! We celebrated McKenzie's 1st birthday yesterday with lots of family and friends. I now know that it IS true... you can NEVER be too prepared! We'd been planning this party for over a month and bought about 95% of the needed supplies well in advance. I thought we had it all figured out and that the morning of the party would go smoothly. I felt like it was until I realized we were still at the house at 11:50 (the party was supposed to start at 12) and we hadn't decorated the pavilion or started cooking the hot dogs! There were guests that actually beat us to the park! In the haste to get the party started there were a few things that were forgotten...like the fruit tray that Chris had driven to Searcy to pick up that morning and the banner we had special ordered for all the guests to sign so that McKenzie could later see all the people who had helped celebrate her 1st birthday, but all in all it was a great day! We had good food and the company of many great friends. Thanks to everyone who came out and/or helped with the party. I'll post some pics of the birthday girl soon.
