Maddy's Day!!!

Maddy's Birthday party was a hit!!! I am so thankful to all of you who came and celebrated with us. She had a great time and was of course exhausted after everyone left. Grandma Linda made her a really cool cake. I had spent a lot of money on her presents at Toys R us and got that dinosaur free. Grandma thought it was smaller than that....LOL I thought it turned out awesome.

There is a reason she has that face. For the last month or so every time we go to Target, Maddy has to go look at the big horse. Every time we look at the big horse, she starts crying and does not want to leave it behind. I hear all kinds of reasons it should come home with us......Mom, what if another kid buys it......Mom, what if they don't have it next time we come......Mom, what if nobody wants to buy it for my birthday? Oh my Maddy! Well I passed on getting it and let Grandma get it for her. Before everyone got here, we let her open her present and as you can see she was more than happy to have the BIG horse at home. She also let us know that it was the best present ever!

Next we moved onto the treasure hunt. The kids loved it! We went up and down the stairs searching for clues.

After searching and searching they got their treasure.

Grandpa Don was kind enough to take pictures for me and I found this one on my camera. I just love it! Doesn't my little man look so handsome in his handsome gear???

Maddy is a very thoughtful little girl. She did not want any of the kids to feel left out so she had a great idea of letting all the kids blow out a candle with her. We made cupcakes and each kid got to have their own candle and blow it out with her. She really is a sweet kid.

Twister came out and the party really got started....Go Grandma!!!

Maddy had to be the boss of the game.

All in all we had a great time, and again thank you all for taking the time out of your busy day to come celebrate with us. It means a lot to have such loving family and friends!
