Happy Birthday Neena!

Saturday, April 24 also happened to be Neena's (Christian's mom) birthday. I haven't yet explained how "Neena" got her name. For about 5 years she was called Nana. This meanth that Makenna, Camden and Delaney had a Nana and Papa (my parents) and a Nana and Poppy (Christian's parents). (I'm not this was well thought out in advance!) Anyway, the kids did fine distinguising between the two.
Then Delaney started talking.

Now because Delaney is the youngest, we usually think EVERYTHING she says is the cutest (we used to do the same when Makenna and Camden were that age too). About 6 months ago, she never would say Nana. She always said N-e-e-n-u-h. Well, Nana Taylor decided that if we wanted, she would change her name.

Makenna actually came up with the spelling because she knows that to make the /ee/ sound, you need two e's. Neena liked that, the name became official.

Camden, however, refuses to call her this, and still refers to her as Nana. This just shows that stubborn streak that sometimes shows in Camden.
We went out for dinner for her birthday and then there was a surprise party at her neighbor, Silvia's house. I forgot the camera :( . Here are just a couple random pictures. I know I have a TON more, but my organization at pictures needs some work! I will have to focus on that this summer.

Happy Birthday Neena!
