Happy Birthday Madelyn!

What a fun day we've had together! Today is her ACTUAL birthday and we tried to savor every moment...making little Madelyn the true "princess for the day"! I carried the camera with me all day long so that I could capture all the sweet moments from her big day to turn TWO. I'll take you thru a quick journey below.

When she woke up, she was saying "cold" and wanted to bundle up in her sweatshirt. I brought her into the kitchen and propped her on the counter (where she sits every morning to help me make breakfast!) Isn't she so darn snuggly and cute?

I promised to make her favorite breakfast: banana pancakes and eggs. She loves helping stir in all the ingredients (and of course taste-testing the batter!)
After playing around the house all morning, we wanted to get out and enjoy the GORGEOUS day! We went to Easton to eat a picnic lunch and enjoy the fountains with our friends, the Holmes family. Such a great afternoon!

Maddy and Reece playing in the fountains. This is the closest Madelyn has ever gotten to the water. She was being so brave (for her!)

Running, running running!

Fall weather in Ohio is the best!

After a long, late afternoon nap Gary and I decided to treat Madelyn to a fun dinner at Chuck E. Cheese. Of course this was so much fun for the whole family! Here she's playing the popcorn game like a pro.

Slam-the-sharks.

Maddy trying to keep up with the big kids!

It was so cute seeing her put her hands up in the air on this little ride and sway to the music. She had a blast.

And then we loaded up the car...all very tired. But all very worth-it.

Maddy, hope you had a FANTASTIC 2nd BIRTHDAY!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
