Maddie's Birthday Weekend!

Madelyn had a wonderful birthday weekend. My parents arrived Thursday afternoon and she was so excited to see them!! She couldn't wait to get them into the house and start playing with them. She has Papa wrapped around her little finger and can get him to do anything. I think he was a little worn out because she wouldn't stop. "One more time" is what she would say to him as he tickled her and bounced her onto the couch. I could hear her giggle in the basement for what seemed for hours!! They were having a ball!!!The first thing Maddie did was bring Papa into the house and start showing him toys and books. Aren't the cute? Reunited again!
April 17th, the morning of her birthday. She loves to play with her Little People so this was the first present that we let her open. She was excited to play with the animals and the sounds that the barn made.

The day couldn't have been more perfect! As soon as she woke up from her nap, she looked out the window and saw her pink bike. She said "Maddie's bike" and ran outside for a test ride. It is so cute! It has blinker sounds, a horn, and plays music! She though she was pretty hot stuff!!

Thanks Grammy and Papa!!

Who would of known that a bubble machine would be such a hit? Thanks Matt, Jen, Dalen , and Lexi for the great gift! She went through a bunch of bubbles that day and was running around the yard chasing them!

Cece and Tim (aka Mr. Fun) arrived that evening for dinner and she was happy to see them too! We had a little scare and thought that she had chickenpox. It ended up being more like hives and some kind of allergic reaction. I was glad that I didn't have to call my friends with little kids and tell them not to come to her party.

Her party was on Saturday so we had cupcakes that night for dessert and let her blow out candles that night. She loved the frosting and didn't make to much of a mess.

Grammy's Girl!!! It is hard to get her to sit still some times for pictures but had fun snuggling and singing songs with Grandma at bedtime.

Maddie watches a lot of Disney so she had a Mickey and friends cake for her party. It took her a few tries but she got the candle blown out!

Auntie Shell and Matt got Maddie this cute little tent. They put it together while she was sleeping so we had to test it out! Maddie thought it was pretty cool and loves to play in it.

Playing in her tent!! Thanks Shell and Matt!!

Grammy thought it would be cute to get her a little tutu dress up outfit. She put in on right away and was running and dancing and checking herself out in the mirror!

I took a ton of pictures, but only posted a few. Thank you to everyone who came to the party, sent gifts and cards! It truly was a special weekend with family and friends and we had such a wonderful time!! I can't believe that she is two!! Where does the time go??

Madelyn did go to the Dr. today and is doing really well. She weighs 30.5 lbs and is 35.5". She is in the 90% for her age and is a pretty big girl. The Dr. was impressed with how well she is talking and hopefully we wont have to see her again for another year. There were no shots today, but a quick finger poke for lab. She was a trooper and didn't cry at all. I was really proud of her and she showed everyone her band aid on the way out.
