I can't believe Maddie turned four on Tuesday!!! Time has gone by so unbelievably fast, and I am so thankful to have had an amazing four years with our Mo! I can't believe how much she has grown and changed this past year. She has had a pretty special week. We started out by taking donuts and juice to her preschool on Monday. When I picked her up she had a crown on with her name on it and she had picked out a horse keychain from the treasure box at school. They made her special for her special day!
After I put the kids to bed that night, I stayed up and made cupcakes. I iced half of them to take to Ney Ney's and saved the rest for the kids to do on her birthday. Ney Ney had a special activity for the kids to do that day. They made shakers out of water bottles and painted them. I know I say this all the time but.....I am so thankful for Ney Ney!! Having Ney Ney keep my kids while I am at work is the next best thing to me being home with them myself. She loves my kids like their her own, they love her the same, and she has become one of my dear friends over the FOUR years that I have known her. Her husband and three kids are just as great with the kids and the Wilke's family loves them all! I don't know what I would do without her and she helped make Maddie's day special as well! (I hope you read this Ney Ney!!!)
Let me back up and say when I woke Maddie up that morning she didn't believe me when I told her she was four. She said she couldn't be because she hadn't gotten any bigger:) But she was excited all the same. That afternoon we iced the cupcakes while Turner was sneakig licks every chance he got! We were getting the dessert ready because we had visitors coming for dinner. My parents, sister and bubba came for spaghetti, cheese toast, salad (brought by Mimi) and cupcakes. While we were eating dinner, Maddie thanked me for making spaghetti and it made my night. She understood that I did it for her and she is starting to appreciate the little things-I am so proud of her and the maturity she already shows at 4!
After dinner it was my favorite part-present time!!! Mimi and Boo Boo gave Maddie a new Bible that came with a carrying case. She is so proud and took it to church Wednesday night with her. There is nothing more precious than watching your daughter carry her Bible to Choir practice. Another proud moment this mommy had this week:) We also all went in together and got her the Bitty Twin Dolls starter kit. She got a boy and girl doll by American Girl and a carrying case, some extra clothes and training pants, and some toys for the babies. She is so excited about those babies! They are named Kylie and Zach and one is with her everywhere she goes. She reads to them, puts them to sleep, and changes their clothes constantly. I am afraid these dolls could lead to an expensive hobby, but they definately made her night!
Maddie had a great birthday and we are looking forward to Saturday where she is having her party at Pump it Up. I am sure I will have lots more to post about then. We have lots of friends coming and Nonna and Brayden are coming to town! It will be a fun day!
