All of a sudden, my baby girl isn't so little any more. On September 23rd, our Madison May turned 5! I made her favorite breakfast the morning of her special day and she ate every bite.
She got to take a poster all about her to preschool to celebrate her birthday.
We had a party with our family.
Opening presents:
She has been asking for a Barbie computer for months and months and months. The look on her face when she opened it up was priceless.
This little cake was the perfect size for our little family.
We decided she could have a friend birthday party this year. She wanted to have a Tinkerbell party and have her friends come dressed up as fairies. She chose to be Tinkerbell, of course.
She thought she had died and gone to heaven when I told her she could wear glitter for her party. And no, I don't ask her to pose for pictures. It just comes naturally to her!
Madison requested we have cupcakes instead of a birthday cake. I wasn't going to argue with that!
Quinn couldn't be left out of the fairy fun!
Coloring fairy pictures.
Decorating star cookie wands.
Playing Tinkerbell bingo.
Making fairy dust.
Pin the wand on Tinkerbell
And presents!
Hal and I really enjoyed reflecting back on the five years Madison has been in our family. She has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives. Our family certainly wouldn't be complete without our Madison. A few things we love about Madison:
* Her beautiful ballerina dancing and all the other crazy dancing she does!

* Her endless imagination.
* Her beautiful ballerina dancing and all the other crazy dancing she does!
* How she will remind us that we need to say our prayers.
* Her O.C.D. tendencies (she's way particular about keeping her room just the way she likes it).
* She's a good friend.
* She's very helpful around the house and always willing to help Mom in the kitchen.
* She will play trucks and cars with Quinn.
* She always has to take something with her everywhere she goes.
* She loves to snuggle with Mom or Dad and read stories.
WE LOVE YOU MADISON!
WE LOVE YOU MADISON!

Fun Tinkerbell party. Happy Birthday Madison!
She's even beautiful when she first wakes up. We love you Madison and can't wait to see you in a few months!
How cute!!!! I can't believe she's five years old!!! Brecken talks about Madison ALL the time. She'll come up and say to me "Mom, I'm happy that we live in St George, but I'm sad that we don't live in Boise. Because I miss Madison" (at least five times a week) It is so sweet to me! We miss you guys! Happy Birthday Madison!
Oh, and I have to say Brecken made me look at all of the pictures about ten times. Whenever she saw Quinn she would laugh and say "he's not a girl he's a boy!" ... oh and I love the natural posing. So cute!
