party for my girl

we are having a huge party for mckenna this weekend-to celebrate not only her 10th birthday, but also her recovery. that its been a year since her hospital stay and everything is going so good for her.

its so wonderful to have friends in high places. cathy designed an invite for us. and my sweet friend christine took the photo of mckenna during another birthday party.

i wish i could somehow invite everyone who was such a great support for us. (that would be you!) but i will make sure to share lots of pictures when its over. and say a very sincere thank you once again for everything.

so since i have a ton of stuff to do to get ready, i wont be posting on the old blogger until next week. i am so excited for the party!

have a great weekend everyone. ours will be filled with family, friends, swimming, food, and a surprise appearance from the wiggles! (ie-jeff, jon, grandpa 1 and grandpa 2) :)

  1. that is so cool! happy happy day McKenna! Way to go on your recovery! Her touching story is what got me reading your blog, I am so glad to hear things are going so well!! Say hi to Summer from Grace and Robbie!

  2. woo hoo!!! Big 10!! What a great birthday that is, a milestone like no other. Have a fabulous time.

    Also — how serious cute is that photo on the invite!!

  3. Happy Birthday McKenna! Tara- You are such an awesome mom! I love that you are so excited for her party. And the post a while back about the Wiggles almost had me in tears! It’s so cool to hear a parent who ENJOYS the kid stuff (parties, kids shows, etc..) rather than gripe and groan about it you celebrate! I love it! You are an inspiration.

    Enjoy your weekend!

  4. Happy Birthday, McKenna!!!

    I’m certain that your mom will do evertything possible to make it perfect for you!

    Tara-enjoy your weekend & your time away from the blog, but know that you will be missed every single minute!! :)

  5. Have a GREAT time Tara!!! Sooooo happy McKenna is doing so well.-It undoubtedly has a lot to do with her wonderful family!

    It was such a treat to get to meet you last weekend! Can’t wait to see the photos(though I must admit I am nervous about the shots with me in them-make sure you edit those puppies accordingly-LOL)-we had such a great time and loved that beach so much that we drove back there a couple of days later to play!

    You are a doll Tara-dh was very impressed by your demeanor and enjoyed the entire “photo shoot” experience. Thanks again!!!!

  8. the wiggles…that is so cool. i’ve convinced my hubby to do the easter bunny, but the wiggles-that would take some serious buttkissing. Hope you have a wonderful time…can’t wait to see pics. happy birthday to your adorably sweet mckenna.
