Birthday Pics

Not much to write this time. Just that my friend Chera Rocks!! these are McKinlees (and Chance's) Birthday Pics - it was like 70 degrees the Friday - Then Saturday when we took these it was like 35 degrees windy and COLD - you really can't tell it..they are great!! not as many but that is OK, less to choose from..haha

These are just a few of my favorites...

Daddy Daughter Dance...

It is amazing to see our little girl growing up!! It is hard to believe in a few short weeks she will be 8 years old!

Rockwall does an annual Daddy/Daughter Dance - this is Chris and McKinlees 3rd year. Since the addition to the Harbor and the Hilton Hotel in Rockwall, the dance was held there this year, I bit fancier then the 'center' where it was held in the past.

McKinlee as always was super excited and had a blast!! I told Chris to get used to it, this was a tradition that will go on until McKinlee no longer wants to go!! and then Chris would be sad that year, although he may beg to differ right now ;)

We started the evening with Dinner, our friends Kimberly, Brent, Chance and Reese went with us.

And I just love this picture, shows her personality so well!! little miss priss
