Skate land Party

One of Madi's cute friends Addie had her birthday party at Skate land!! I was so excited to go to this party myself....seeing as how I use to go there every weekend when I was in elementary school and now Madi could go. (I forgot it was there since I don't drive that way much)

All the kids were giving a little coaching before they could get out on the actual rink. They were taught how to stand up from the floor and hold their balance and even how to fall the correct way, I guess they want to try and minimize broken wrists and rolled over fingers. Here is Miss Madi practicing on the carpet....she did really good once I got her the right skate size.
She proved to the coach that she could hold her own and was able to get out on the rink. By the way, it is really slippery out there. But Madi did great and had so much fun on the skating rink.

Here's Madi and Addie (I know cute right) taking a little break from all the skating!

This was a few of the kids there having a blast! And you have to check out the cake!!

Addie's mom, Monica, is the best as making cakes...after all she is a professional!! It was absolutely delicious too...and she make really cute skate shaped cookies as party favors!! Oh if I could bake like her.

Happy Birthday Addie!! Thank you for inviting Madi!! We all had a super fun time!

Flower Girl Party

After Geoff and Amy were engaged, Amy wasted no time letting her 3 adorable nieces in on the action and asking them to be their flower girls at the wedding. All three of them were so excited to hear the news.....very very excited for new dresses and being able to throw flower peddles in the isle that their Auntie will be walking on.

Amy had a cute idea and asked all the girls over to Nana's for a little Flower Girl Party. They had lunch together (McDonald's was the special choice). Amy also got them these very cute flower girl books that she read to them. The book is so sweet, it talks about this little flower girl and all that she gets to do at the wedding.

Then the girls tried on some of the little dresses for the wedding. They had so much fun being involved in such a special time with their Auntie and can't wait for the wedding to come!!

Preschool Christmas Party

At Madi's Preschool party for Christmas this year she got to decorate cookies, there was suppose to be one for her and one for me but some how she gobbled both of them right up :) I guess that's what happens when I'm taking the pictures and she's just "tasting them" as she told me.

She was consentrating so much on getting just the right amount of frosting on each cooking then she would take them to the decorating table where she would put sprinkles on each one and bring them back to show me how cute they were.

These 2 are the end result before she ate them up, she did say they were delicious!! All her hard work paid off :) Yum Yumm!

After her little cookie snack they opened their little gifts which were stickers to and from each other and they used them to decorate their green wreaths-very cute!! As soon as she came home she hung hers up in her play area so she could enjoy it for the rest of the holiday season!

Madi also made a cute little gift for me to open-it is an angel made from her feet and handprints. Her teacher put in on some frabric and said that we could make in into a pillow or something like that if we'd like....I figure I could aleast to that to keep it and cherish it for years to come, it is so precious and I absolutely love it!

Happy 2nd Birthday Mia!

Our sweet friend Mia turned 2 in December and we went to her party to celebrate!! Madi just loves her little friend Mia and also loved her little "rollercoaster" in her backyard. She couldn't get enough of it! You can see in her face how excited she was every single time she went down it and yes she was on the bigger side-I don't think she'll be able to ride it again but she did enjoy it at the party!I told Madi that she had to let the other kiddos have a turn and she was really good and got off and did then she came in and told me that Brian was stuck on the car so I had my camera ready...sure enough Mia's daddy wanted to take a turn....after that Madi said she definately wasn't too big for it :) Brian had to get help getting out!! Good times :)
Here's the birthday girl blowing out her #2 candle!! She was so happy to listen to everyone sing happy birthday to her and right on cue she blew out the candle after we stopped singing. What a cutie!After she was done opening all of her wonderful fun presents, her uncle and aunt said there was one more gift out front and we all got to go see her new Dora bike! She loved it!!

Before we left Madi asked if she could go out back on go down the "rollercoaster" one last time. I told her that would be fine but to make it a good one. And she sure did...
...she decided to go down backwards!! We had a great time at your party Mia thank you so much for having us!!

PARTY WEEKEND!!

We had a really fun weekend, well on Saturday it was a full fun day of birthday parties. Madi was invited to 2 in one day. That was very exciting for her (and for her mom)!

First we went to Alexa's party at Glitter Girls for a cute ballet themed party. They wore leotards and tutus and got their hair all done up with glitter and all. The girls and boys got to dance on stage, eat cute little flower sandwiches, have cupckes and watch the birthday girl open her fun presents. It was lots of fun. Thank you so much Alexa for a wonderful time.

Then we jumped in the car and headed off to the other side of town to Madi's other little friend Julia's house for her birthday party. We were a little late, sorry Julia, but Madi was very excited to jump right in on the party action. First she got to do the stick the heart on the necklace game blindfolded. I was a little surprised that she was so eager to put the blindfold on but she really like that game. After we got home she asked if we could get a game like that for our house. Then the girls got to decorate foam princess hats. And then came Madi's favorite part, the balloon popping game, where you sit on the balloon and try and pop it. Once Madi figured that out she was on a roll, until she jumped too high and the balloon moved and she hurt her back. She rested and was ready for more balloons after a few minutes. She loved that game.

Then they were off for cake and icecream and after they watched cutie Julia open her fun gifts. She has just a great time, thanks for so much fun Julia!

By this time of day we both we exhausted and ready to go home and rest for a bit before we had to get ready for church and dinner with some friends afterwards. Madi is so blessed to have such wonderful friends! Happy birthday once more to Alexa and Julia!!
