Maddie Mae turns 2

Maddie Mae's first birthday was, to say the least, lacking. We were unable to celebrate her birthday on her birthday because she was sick and when we finially did we skipped the cake because she didn't feel well. It was about two weeks later she got a cake and just a few days before she had surgery to put tubes in her ears.
I kind of felt guilty for that - what a bummer first birthday.
Luckily this year we were able to celebrate on her birthday. Tyler drew a picture for her to wake up to - a My Little Pony telling her happy birthday with a cake.

She really enjoyed opening her presents this year - I think she enjoyed the process of opening more than the presents themselves. Mimi got her "paper" dolls. Grandma got her a pink bike. And, mom and dad got her chalk, barbie dolls, and shoes!

 She also got a cake this year! Actually it was a giant cupcake.

 We actually celebrated her birthday twice. Friday the 11th with just us and grandma and grandpa. And, Saturday with cousins and aunts and uncles. We went swimming in the morning and to the park in the evening. Jessi and Drew got Maddie Mae a purple tent - the kids love it!

 What a fun birthday that little girl had!
