What a wonderful feeling to wake up next to my husband. I really missed that:) And, he even got up with the girls this morning! We had a relaxing morning around the house. It was beautiful outside so we decided to take the girls to the park and have a picnic lunch. Abby found some new friends to run around with and Mckenzie didn't want to leave Scott's side. They played on the swings together and played on the slide. It was strange not to be the one pushing Mckenzie in the swing while straining to keep and eye on Abby. Strange, but good:) When we got home, everyone was tired so we took a nap. Mckenzie had a birthday party for a class friend this evening (her first birthday party where the invitation was addressed to her!) and Abby went with Scott to do a little bowling and game playing. It was one of the places that Abby wanted to take Scott when he got home, so I think it was extra special they got to do it as a date night. Abby got two strikes and she was so happy! They also rode Go-Karts and played in a jungle gym area and topped the evening off with a little Chinese take out :) Mckenzie had fun at the birthday party. She went rollerskating for the first time, and as she put it, she rocked it! She was able to keep her balance for the most part and was able to move all on her own. She wasn't actually gliding, but she was sort of rollerwalking. When she first got out on the rink, she was scared and wanted to leave, but after a little gentle prodding by mom, she started enjoying herself and didn't want to leave the rink! When it came time for cake, Mckenzie ate the frosting off the top and declared she was done. I wonder if she will ever eat cake...
