Sesame Street Live: 1-2-3 Imagine

We've been out of town for awhile so haven't posted anything lately. I'm hoping to get back on it more regularly!
Anyway, I took Madeline to see Sesame Street Live yesterday and she thought it was the greatest! I have a couple of pics from her at the show but they didn't turn out very well since I took them with my phone. Better than nothing I guess.

Here she is showing off her new Big Bird!

Favorites Fridays #1

I thought it would be fun to post some of Madeline's favorite things one day each week. This week is Madeline's favorite tv shows! Yes, at just barely 2 years old she asks for these three shows constantly (in no particular order)!

Sesame Street, of course, and Elmo in particular. She loves the Elmo's World segment of the show the best.

This second one is my favorite of the three, Jack's Big Music Show. It's so cute with the colorful puppets who sing, dance, talk, and have musical adventures. It has a catchy theme song too. Madeline gets a big smile on her face when she hears it come on.

Last but not least is Wonder Pets! Linny, Tuck, and Ming Ming save the world one animal at a time. It's pretty cute and they do some singing as well.

How We Play With Snow...

Ok, maybe that should be "How We Eat Snow". This is the second time this season that I've brought some snow into the house to play with but Madeline pretty much just wants to eat it. Don't worry, I make sure it's fresh, clean, white snow. Unfortunately we can't go out in it because it's been so cold. It barely got out of the single digits today.

Doing a little scooping...

And more eating...

Take a look at all the snow we have on our deck.

Our dog Josie. She loves the snow too!

Madeline's 2nd Birthday Party

Well hello there kitty!

Madeline's birthday party was at Gymboree this year. As you see her birthday party theme was Hello Kitty (we also had Elmo for the boys).

Madeline got right into playing at Gymboree, in her pink tutu of course!

More playing...

Yummy frosting!!!

Thank you for sharing in Madeline's birthday fun!

WOO HOO Look Who's TWO!!!!

This pretty girl is 2 years old!!!

She looks happy about it too!

Yes, the cake is pretty gaudy looking but Madeline didn't seem to care. ;) For Madeline's birthday Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Jerry came up for a visit. We had a little birthday celebration for her and let her open a few birthday presents to make her day special.

Madeline checking out her birthday cake.

Madeline gets all embarrassed when we sing to her.

Silly girl!

Ready to blow out the candles. Ok, she had a little help with this part...

Checking out her new baby dolls.

She LOVED her new jewelry. She played and played with them.

And the new doll house.

Checking out her jewelry box from Grandma.

She was really interested in the little ballerina spinning around. All in all she had a great birthday!


Christmas with the Family

On Christmas day we went to Madeline's cousin's house for the day. Ava's trying to give some love to Madeline.

I love this close up...

Ava caught me taking pictures.
