What a weekend it has been! I can't believe that my Maddie is four and we had an exciting time with parties, presents, visitors and cake!
CeCe and Maddie trying out the new tutu's that I made! Don't they look adorable! I'm so thankful that Maddie has such wonderful aunts that get involved and play with her!

Maddie was all ready for her party at Twin Ports Gymnastics! There were almost 20 kids there and they had a blast! 
They had this awesome pit that the kids could run and jump into...the adults enjoyed it too! 
Maddie flying down the trampoline! 
So Much FUN.... 
It's hard to get that many kids to look one way and smile but they did great! 
My birthday girl blowing our her candle! We tried to keep it simple with cupcakes, juice boxes, crackers, cheese sticks and grapes! There wasn't any cutting or pouring so it was easy to pass out the treats fast! 
Maddie got so many wonderful gifts and they kids all gathered around as she was opening...it was crazy! 
At the end it was Maddie's turn to hand out party favors. I had her thank everyone as she gave them their little gift. I would definitely go back there again for a party. It was great that they could run and play on whatever they wanted for an hour and then have cake and presents right after! 
After the party, we went back to our house to have dinner with family and open more gifts. It was great that my parents were able to come along with Michelle and little Brady. 
Maddie loves holding her baby cousin! He fits in her arms like her baby doll and she thinks he is so cute and tiny! It will be fun to watch him grow up and I'm glad that they live close enough that we will be able to have lots of play dates with him! 
Maddie has been talking about having a Barbie cake since last winter. I'm not a Betty Crocker so we ordered her cake. They did a great job and Maddie picked out exactly what she wanted! It was just as tasty as it looks!
The Hogue Girls!
CeCe and Jan stayed with us the whole weekend and it was great to have them around! They were great help at the party and Jan made a fabulous meal Sunday night!
We went to church in the morning and it was nice to have someone to take a picture of all four of us together! 
Maddie blowing out her candles on her cake! I had learned from another friends party to put Barbie's hands in the air otherwise her arms will melt from the candles!I couldn't have asked for a better weekend (except the snow could have stayed away)! Everything went as planned and it was a great weekend for Maddie! My sweet girl is growing up so fast and we are so proud of her. She has a kind heart and makes everyone smile! She loves her friends and family and has brought us more joy then we could have ever imagined!
Happy Birthday my sweet Madelyn Grace!!
