Buna Bound
On March 26 we headed to Buna to visit some of my family on my dad's side that we hadn't seen in a very long time. Some of who had never met my daughters. This was our first road trip since Emily had joined our family and I for one, was very, very nervous. Thankfully she slept the whole way there, unfortunately, we were not as lucky with the ride home, but we made it in one piece nonetheless.
Matt & I had bought Mackenzie a cool Crayola pad with invisible markers that we knew would keep her preoccupied for a good 10 minutes on our journey to Buna.
SUCCESS!

Finally in Buna!
Yay!!

Amazing!
This is me and my grandpa. He is a quiet man. With many stories.
I love this man!
A picture I never thought would be taken.
My daughter & my Great-grandma.

These two lovely ladies are my cousins [just 2 of the many]
Micah & Danielle.
We didn't get to talk much but just from being in their pressence I can tell they have grown to be amazing young ladies. They are both funny and very outgoing.
Definitely not the two little girls I remember from years ago.

Red Friday
March 18 was 'Red Friday' a day to wear red to show your support for our troops.
Emily was all ready for showing her support!
We Support Our Troops!
St. Patrick's Day
Mackenzie invited her cousin, Sidni, to stay the night the day before St. Patty's day. So, in the festive spirit I painted their nails green & made sure they had their green shirts ready to put on the next morning before coming out of the room so no one would get pinched. :)
Later that day Mackenzie & I baked green cupcakes.
Mackenzie absolutely loved using the food coloring.
They turned out so pretty & yummy!
This year was Miss Emily's first St. Patrick's day but she didn't care about wearing green to avoid pinches or eating green cupcakes.
Maybe next year she will be just a tad bit more excited.
