A very special gift

Mike's best friend, Andrew ( Andy) is marrying Andrea ( Andie). They are both Captains in the military , stationed in Colorado Springs. While we were bummed to miss Andy, we were ecstatic to get to see Andie ( are you following all of this? )

We met her in Manitou Springs, right near Colorado Springs. She treated us to a fantastic lunch. My salad was so pretty I had to take a picture of it:
She is so thoughtful. She even brought Mackenzie the essentials: chocolate and princess crayons as well as an envelop and paper to send a note to Uncle Andy in Iraq ( she even found a mail box to send it off right away!)
An extra special treat was getting to follow Andie back to Denver for a sneak preview of her wedding gown! Just before we left, she gave Mackenzie a very special gift:

We had a great day with Andie and we can't wait to see her again.
