Makena's Birthday BBQ

We had family/friends over on Saturday to celebrate Makena's 13th birthday. We planned a BBQ for early evening; Jamie smoked some salmon, we also BBQ'd some, as well as burgers and (Makena's favorite) Better Cheddars.

Makena recieved 3 cards in the mail that morning - with money in the envelopes!

THANK YOU Grandma & Papa, Aunt Tami & Uncle Kent and Gram!!

Makena says that 13 is an unlucky number, so she was either going to be 12 for another year or just skip to 14. I told her that she can't just 'skip' a birthday number! She didn't want anything with #13 on it...so Jamie and I bought #13 balloons and candles for her brownie! : )

THANK YOU to all that came and helped celebrate - and for the thoughtful gifts! Even though she is getting older (sniff...sniff), Makena enjoys spending time with her family and friends!
