Mackenzie is a teenager!

Yesterday was Mackenzie's 13th birthday. She is now a teenager! It really hit me when I saw the candles on her cake! She is such a sweet girl! She is very bright, and interesting too. I love being with her. We always got along so easily.

Jessie and I took all three kids to Oneonta, a nearby small city. Mackenzie had $100 from Steve to splurge on. She bought a beautiful outfit. Braondon and Kassidy each had $20 to spend, so we shopped for them too. We went to Walmart and I bought them all small gifts. Mackenzie got another outfit, and the little ones got sheriff sets. They played (and fought) with them all the way home!

We were going to go to Fred's, a fancy restaurant that Mackenzie loves. We are going to wait until tonight though. I was so glad! I was worn out after a day of shopping with the three kids! Mackenzie said that she had a really nice birthday.

I didn't bring my camera, but I will take it tonight.
