Happy Birthday, Madison!!



It's hard to believe our little girl is 2 years old! Everyone said time would go by so fast, I just never realized how fast!! She had a great birthday weekend with lots of family coming to visit. Friday, her Nana and Pa came in with Grandmom too! They came to spend the night with us. Joan couldn't make it to her party on Saturday so she came over Friday night to see Madison and give her her birthday gift.


She spent the rest of the evening 'mowing' the backyard.

Saturday morning Uncle Michael came over. He had a wedding in Abilene at 5:00 so he wasn't going to be able to stay for the party. He drove in early to see Madison and spend time with her. Here she is opening his gift before he left. It was so cute...the baby wouldn't come out of the bag so she turned the bag upside down and started shaking it out. She's a smart little girl.


She LOVES this baby and highchair! In fact, it was the first thing she asked for this morning when she woke up.

Aunt Kara showed up around noon! Her and Madison enjoyed some pizza before the party!






Everyone else showed up around party time. We just had family over for a small party. We had some snacks, cake and ice cream and then let the kids play in the backyard. They all had a good time. Madison loved having all of her cousins over to play. Here are a lot of pictures from the afternoon...


Opening presents







The Elmo cake
(she's been asking for it for the past 2 weeks!)



Playing and Swimming Outside








Time for cake...








After the party was over, Madison put on her jewelry and high heels. I told her to say cheese for a picture and this is what I got...

Grammy, Papa and Uncle Randy spent the night with us Saturday night. We went to eat at The Roadhouse and then came back and played some more.

This morning when she woke up she immediately wanted her baby and highchair. Since everyone was still asleep, we went outside to play for awhile. When everyone was up, we came back in and Madison decided she wanted to be the baby in the baby bed. She loves all of her new toys!

This is her "cheese" face!




After Grammy and Papa left we went shopping (per Madison's request) and had lunch! When we got home we played ALL day with all of her new toys. About 7:00 she was snacking on some cheese puffs and we looked over to see this...

she was exhausted!!

Happy Birthday sweet, sweet girl! We LOVE you so much!!!

I laughed OUT LOUD at that last picture. If that's not Trent, I don't know what is!

She is just too cute. I can't believe she's two! Looks like her party was fun.

Can't wait to see you guys soon.

Great party!

I am as tired as Madison, I had a hard time staying awake at work. Papa slept until noon today too.

Loved seeing you guys,

She really had a Happy Birthday. You both did a good job on everything. We had a great time. Especially playing on her new swing-set.
