Party Time

She's two years old!!

We've had a busy week, celebrating and all :)

Thursday was the big day. We woke up and had breakfast with Daddy. Which was wonderful, he had to work that day and we would miss seeing him. I'm so glad he was able to go in late. We watched Madeline play with her presents & she loved them!

Well, we missed Daddy so much after he left for work that we jumped into the van and drove up to Wilson to have some birthday Frosties with him! :)

After a quick trip to Target (of course!), we headed home to get ready for dinner with some family and friends. Since Jared was working late, I knew I didn't want to have everyone over. It's hard hosting a get together when you're doing it solo! So I thought we could head up to one of our favorite places in Winterville. Chick-fil-a!! I knew Madeline would have a blast there. She loves their indoor place area. And their ice cream. :) We asked our family & friends to join us! It kinda turned into a little party. :)

Today, (Saturday) we kept the party going! We grilled out some hamburgers and hot dogs & had a little cake. :) I didn't get nearly as many pictures as I wanted to, but thankfully my friend, Beth, snapped some photos for me to help me out!

Madeline picked out the Abby Cadabby theme all by herself! I took her to Toys R Us to look at what they had. Which wasn't much... They had a lot of different themes but not enough supplies. One 8 count dessert plate wasn't going to cover our little party!! But we had a coupon so we tried. She told me she wanted Rapunzel. Then changed her mind to Dora. Then to TinkerBell. Then to Princesses. Then to Elmo. Then to Minnie Mouse. Then to Hello Kitty. So I said, let's try this another day. She clearly wasn't ready for party planning! I decided to make a last minute stop before we headed back home at a party store. We walk in, turn onto the charater theme party aisle and she runs to Abby Cadabby! She picked up a few things of napkins, plates, cups and turned to look at me with a huge smile. I knew this was it! I was so excited for her! She really does love Abby Cadabby and this was perfect for her party!

We enjoyed the party with our family & friends. I'm so thankful they all came! We had such a great time and Madeline loved every second of it! Especially when we sang to her!

We are so very thankful for Madeline!! What a sweet, darling 2 year old she is!!
