My Baby is 4!

January 11th was Madi's 4th birthday. I can't believe my baby is already 4 years old. It doesn't seem like that long ago when we were traveling through a huge snow storm hoping to make it to the hospital (I still feel bad for passing someone that had slid of the side of the road, but I was in a lot of pain). I think we got about 12 inches of snow that night. We even had to wait extra long for the doctor to get to the hospital because he had to shovel himself out of his driveway. Madilyn is such a princess and loves anything that is pink or purple. She really has her dad's personality; so for those of you who know Lynn, she is very stubborn and is always teasing. "Pink" is still her favorite blanket and comfort and we are still trying to get her to stop sucking her thumb (again the stubbornness shines through). We are so glad she is a part of our family. The Friday before her birthday, we had a simple princess birthday party with some of her friends. It was very basic, but the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. Everyone came dressed as a princess, we decorated tiaras, played a princess/cake walk, played Pin the Dress on the Princess and ate cupcakes and ice cream.

The whole crew. Back Row: Lexi, Parker, Madi, and Abbie. Front Row: Annie, Porter and Lillian

Sunday was her real birthday. Lynn made her a toy chest (I will have to say he did a great job) and we filled it with very girly dress-ups. Parker gave her a matching game. She also got a Tinker Bell doll and some princess books. Grandma and Grandpa Dahle gave her a Dora jacket and some Dora toys. Thanks everyone for the fun birthday!

And of course the Belle birthday cake she has been begging me for. Happy Birthday Madi!
