My Friend

I have a new BFF and her name is Mackenzie. She's 3 years old. She's my visiting teaching partner's daughter. I've known Amy and Dane Christensen since they moved in the ward over 3 years ago. Amy was pregnant with Mackenzie, so Mackenzie has known me her whole life.

For some reason, she really likes me. I make her prayer roll most days. That makes me happy. I love to find her at church and say hi. Anyway, recently she's come over to play. I love it. She comes for a bit while Amy runs to Walmart or something. One day Mackenzie came she helped me cut out a nightgown I was making for Maureen Russell's 65th bday and she helped me make red and white pasta to give to a family who needed dinner. It was great. I love her little smile.

She made it a point to bring me a valentine on valentine's day. I just got back from her birthday party. I made her a special blanket and burp rag for her doll. Her mom is having baby #2. The new real baby will have a matching blanket. The Christensens are great people.

She loved putting the pins in

Update on April 6, 2017.

Mackenzie's mom is probably having her baby tomorrow. Mackenzie came to my house today for a couple of hours. We watched PBS, colored pictures of Palm Sunday (I tried my best to explain to a 3 year old what that is), and made a chocolate mug cake. Sadly, I didn't have rice crispies or marshmallows. That's what she wanted to make. Based on the smile on her face, we did ok. The cake was dry and awful, but what does a 3 year old know?
