McKenzie's 1st Birthday Party

This birthday princess had a fun 1st birthday bash and was surround by family and friends who all love her dearly. As we were celebrating I kept looking around the room at these wonderful people who are all a part of her story and were our biggest fans in our journey to get her here! It was a tender night for me, and lots of fun too. Kenzie loved opening presents and eating cake. 
Happy 1st Birthday Baby Girl.

 What a way to end a wonderful year!!!

McKenzie is 1 YEAR OLD!!!

1 year ago TODAY a little piece of heaven came to our home and changed all our lives' for the better! Our sweet McKenzie Lynn filled a void in our family and helped heal our aching hearts. She has brought unimaginable happiness into our family and has reminded us of all the joys a newborn brings. Our daughters' genuine love towards each other has been one of the crowning achievements of our marriage, and has exceeded any hopes or dreams we had in that regard. Kenzie is certainly heaven sent and is just the miracle our family needed! This past year has been full of many new firsts and milestones reached by our darling McKenzie! 
Happy birthday sweetheart:)
