Best Present Ever!
I admit I am a pretty hard person to shop for. I am not into electronincss or dvds and beside for the gorgeous diamond earrings I recieved for Mother's day from Brett and the girls, jewlery is not my thing either. However, Makenna gave me the best birthday present ever! I was giving Makenna and Emma a bath like I do pretty much every night, and I took Makenna out of her bath wrapped her up in her towel and while I was taking Emma out I could her Makenna saying something that was just music to my ears. I turned around and asked Makenna to repeat what she just said and she bowed her head, crossed her arms, closed her eyes and said softly "Heavenly Father Thank you for my mommy. Amen". Now that's enough to bring this mom to tears. After me coaxing her she said it once more. Now I need to say that Makenna barely ever sits still for family prayer and I have NEVER heard her pray on her own before so this was just the best gift from her that I could possibly imagine!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I want to squeeze that girl so bad right now! We love her so much!
How sweet! I'm so glad you wrote that down so you can remember it!! What a sweet girl!
That brought tears to my eyes!!!! See all those times you thought she wasn't listening... I've come to learn that they can still hear even when they are running around.
Those presents are priceless and more memorable than any material gift. What a sweet little girl:)
That girl melts my heart! Seriously the fact that she would say that is so sweet but I can totally picture her bowing her sweet curly hair head and closing those big brown eyes tight with her little arms folded she is too precious. It is one of those moments that I am sure will be burned into your brain forever. And thank goodness for that! -you are an amazing mom and deserve a million more little prayers just like this. Give that sweet girl some love from us. Counting down the days until Thanksgiving already!
