The Rice Family: 2009

A few pictures from Thanksgiving

We went to my Aunt Connie's for Thanksgiving this year. My sister and my cousin Zac were both able to come up from Florida. We played Catch Phrase for hours and had an absolute blast. My whole family is super competitive so the game got pretty interesting!

Atlantic Station With The Bassett's

We decided to back to the Lighting of Atlantic Station again this year and took our friends the Bassett's with us. We were a little disappointed in the show this year. They didn't have any of the entertainment that they did last year. They also weren't doing the carriage rides which McKenna was really bummed about. The kids still enjoyed themselves though. They got to ride the train around Atlantic Station and see Santa and to them, those were the most important things.

McKenna's 7th Birthday Party

McKenna has been wanting to have an American Girl party for the past few years and I finally gave in. She also wanted a sleepover so we decided to do both. The girls came over Friday night and then we got up Saturday morning and went to the American Girl Bistro for brunch. The girls had an absolute blast. McKenna said it was the best birthday ever!!

Family Birthday Party

We had a family party at my parents house for McKenna and my cousins, Alexis and Mackenzie. My sister and her husband were able to make it up which made McKenna's day!!
