Happy 3rd Birthday Madeleine!

Princess, Princess, Princess was the theme for Madeleine's 3rd Birthday this year! Glitter, sparkles, pink, & purple was all we saw all day. We've sure got a girly girl on our hands. And the lucky little Princess herself got two parties...but that was our decision. Our house just isn't big enough to do one big party.

In the morning, all her little friends from my moms group and our neighborhood came over dressed up like a Princess (or Prince, or Fireman) and had breakfast cupcakes! They all played for awhile and then sang Madeleine Happy Birthday, ate breakfast and then everyone got to decorate a crown to take home. They also got a little wand to take home. Madeleine got a lot of neat presents too!

Make a wish!

Decorating the crowns with all kinds of stickers!

Everyone was excited to see what Madeleine got!

Later in the afternoon, my family and a couple of friends came over for a smaller celebration. The highlight was Madeleine's Princess ice-cream cake. Cinderella even lit-up! So fun!

We just can't believe she is already 3! Time has flown by. She is getting so big too. The words and thoughts that she expresses amaze us sometimes...as I know they do all parents. It is truly amazing to watch your child grow! We are having so much fun playing with her and teaching her new things. She seems to remember everything...which can be a good thing or a bad thing. She expresses how much she loves us...and doesn't like us sometimes but the hugs, kisses and sayings like "I love you so much" are more fun than the crying and slamming doors :-) Year 3 will be interesting! We love you Madeleine! Happy Birthday sweet girl!
