Madison's Birthday

Madison turned 9!  This was Madison's off year for a birthday party.  Lucky for her grandma Hanna came to visit on her birthday.  They went birthday clothes shopping and out to lunch.  She had sour cream pancakes for breakfast and mac and cheese (but with mini-shells) for dinner.  For dessert she asked for a store bought Dairy Queen ice cream cake.  This was our first ever store bought birthday cake.  gasp!  haha (I was THRILLED!)


Dane was absilutly adorable.  He knew esactly what we were doing because one of his favorite Elmo's World's is about Birthdays.  So when he saw the cake he said, "birthday cake" - just like that.  We all about died.  



Some great things about Madison:
  • She is getting into her own style.  She is particular about her hair and clothes and wants it all a certain way.  
  • She still loves gymnastics and has a hard time sitting still or just walking some where.  She is constantly doing flips, cart wheels, and head stands.
  • She is really good with Dane.  She still is a little girl at heart and likes to play in the sand box, play make believe, or play in the sprinklers, so she does those fun things with Dane when she plays with him.  
  • She thrives when we give her independence and responsibility.  She likes to get things right.  She LOVES to get hard things right.  She wants to impress people.
