Snowy Day

We had our first good snow of the season today. Madeline was so excited!!!

She really liked eating the snow and when I told her we were going outside to play she said that she was going to eat it all!!!

Here is Mads getting to play in the snow. We got a sled just last week and it has a rope that I can use to pull her Madeline around on it.

Playing outside (with the neighbor kids too)...

Madeline just loved playing in the snow. Last year I really didn't ever take her outside to play. Maybe once.

She thought it was funny throwing snow at Mommy!

She even made some snow angels but I didn't get a pic of that, bummer...

Taking a break to rest. Playing in the snow is hard work!

Fun with Friends

We recently ate pizza out with some friends and Madeline got to play with the big sister she never had....

Madeline has known her since birth and just just loves her!

Dancing queens....

Luckily there weren't many people in the restaurant since they were dancing fools...ha ha...

And the spin...woo hoo!

Our Next Two Months...

This is what we have ahead of us for at least the next couple of months - eye patches! It's just for an hour a day to start. We're trying to get her right eye strengthened to get rid of a slight lazy eye.

Madeline doesn't look too miserable though. She loves picking out which eye patch she gets to wear each day and we set the timer for 60 minutes. She hasn't taken it off early yet. But when the timer rings she rips that eye patch right off!

Madeline with her new Mickey and Minnie Mouse stuffed animals. She got these for doing so well at her eye doctor appointment. She even had her eyes dialated! No glasses for now so great news!!!

He He Heee....Look Who's Three!!!

Yes, my little princess turned 3 years old on December 26th. I had a few birthday themed pictures taken of her when we had Christmas pictures taken. They turned out so cute and Madeline just loved the balloons!

I just love the perky expressions on her face. You can just tell this little girl has a zest for life!

But she looks so sweet and shy in this one - love it!
Cutie pie!

On Madeline's birthday we took her to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate....

The man (mouse) himself.

Mads loves playing Skee Ball...

...in her own little way.

Her buddy Barney.

The cousins came to CEC too.

Eating pizza (term used loosely)...not the best pizza but we were there for the entertainment...

Madeline trying out the party favors...

Ava and Abram loved Chuck E Cheese too.

Madeline's birthday cake. I was so rushed to get done this year I didn't get too fancy. I wish I would have done a better job...

Getting ready to blow out those candles. She talked about blowing them out for days before her birthday. I think this was her favorite part of the whole day!

And there she goes...

Me with my sweet little 3 year old!

Oh yeah, the presents...

Checking it all out...




Playing her new guitar from her Aunt and Uncle.

Christmas Day 2010

Hi everyone! We had a nice relaxing Christmas day this year. We opened presents, ate chocolate muffins for breakfast, and had the whole day to play with our new toys and presents. My parents came up in the afternoon and we had some yummy pot roast for dinner.
My little sweet pea (above) loved her Backyardigans plush toys that Santa brought for her. :)

Presents under the Christmas tree.

Beautiful ornament with Madeline's photo.

Madeline enjoying her new bounce house. She had the biggest smile on her face when she saw it and the whole time she was jumping in it...

Madeline enjoyed opening presents so much this year. Seeing the presents under the tree the days leading up to Christmas was just killing her. She tried opening a couple of gifts throughout the week before Christmas.

Me & Mads on Christmas morning. Sorry, no make-up. Scary huh?

Mads with her new pink robe on. It was so cozy. It's a little big too but I figured she would grow into it and would be able to use it for a couple years.
We had a wonderful day. I hope you had a great Christmas too!
