Party Time!!

Mackenzie's birthday is on the 15th and every year for their birthdays, the kids get to choose to either have a party with a few friends, or to go and do something with the family.. boondocks, chuck-E-cheese, the zoo, the aquarium, whatever they want. I try to make a big deal out of their birthdays and I want them to choose how they want to celebrate! This year, Mackenzie said she just wanted to go to build-a-Bear. So, saturday we went to Layton and rode the "train" (the frontrunner) to Salt Lake to the Gateway. Grandma, Trey and Tage came with us! Waiting for the train!

Avery was happy until she saw a train pass by. Then she decided she was NOT riding it. Our train came and as I went to step on it, she dove out of my arms, and into Grandma's. Too bad grandma was getting on the train too! She cried for about the first 10 minutes saying "get me off!" Then she settled down and was ok. We went to Jason's Deli for lunch then we were off to build a bear!

Waiting in line to get their bears filled! So excited!
Bath time!

On the train waiting to go home.. We didn't know the train scedule so we just got on it as soon as it came to the station. We waited and waited... after about 30 minutes, we asked someone what time the train would leave and they said we still had another 30 minutes! So we waited some more.. the kids had fun playing on the train though I think!

I think we have a happy Birthday girl. The smile says it all!

Of course Avery made her favorite animal.. a monkey! She named the monkey Seven but since we got home, the monkey's name has changed to Three Seven
Mackenzie made a dog that carries a puppy in her mouth. She named the dog Isabelle and the puppy Bella.

Gavin made an army wolf named Rusty

Trey made a star wars bear

and Tage made an OwlMackenzie with her dogs in their house. After an hour and a half on the train, we made it back to Layton. Grandpa ordered us some pizza for dinner, then it was time to head home! Avery sleeping with her monkey when we got home. We all thought it was a pretty fun Birthday party! I also got to see my sister Sherin's new baby Sydney while we were in Utah. She is 6 lbs of cuteness!! I wanted to bring her home with me!
