Out With the Old, In With the New

If you know Mackenzie, you know that she has a beloved blanket that she takes everywhere.  It means the world to her.  It is hard to leave home without it (actually we did once on a big trip and had to turn around and back track an entire hour just to get it). 

This blanket has seen its day...it has been falling apart all around our house with little gobs of cotton laying around, little strings, and creating bigger and bigger holes in it. It was beyond repair, and I have repaired this thing several times.  So while my mom was here, we decided to make her a replacement (she requested the exact same one, and although possible, I told her it wasn't). :) We were going for a big girl blanket, but something that would still provide comfort for her.

So 'Thank You' Heather for making such a wonderful blanket for Mackenzie when she was born!  It's been loved (and now it is hidden far, far away in a closet and asked about a lot).

This is the new rendition.  She didn't really take to it at first, but I got so mad at her one day that I hid the old one.  I know, I'm mean...but she knew that she was in so much trouble that when she couldn't find it, that I had taken it away for good, and she's actually been ok with it.
