Happy Birthday!!

Last Sunday, the 23rd, was Madeleine's 2nd birthday! It was such a fun and crazy day. Madeleine went to sleep the night before all excited about her birthday because we told her people were going to come over and bring her presents. The excitement just grew from there. She woke up bouncing off the walls exclaiming, "Happy to Madeleine!" and clapping her hands and dancing around. Unfortunately she had to wait until that evening for anything real exciting. I think it was more unfortunate for us because we had to deal with an ecstatic two-year-old through church, which is during her nap time, and then try and keep our tired, overly excited girl happy until people came.


But once our families arrived, we had a lot of fun. She did great blowing out her candles and tore through all of her gifts. What a great birthday it was and a fantastic warm-up for all the Christmas presents to come.


By the way, the only part of her cake she ate was the 2 made of sprinkles and the frosting under it. A much cleaner birthday than last year.
