Madilynn is FOUR!

Today was a BIG day!! Madilynn turned 4 and she was so excited! She began the day going to preschool, of course (she loves school!). When we got home from picking her up she was surprised with pink and purple balloons, flowers and the cupcakes were baked! Her favorite colors are pink and purple so we went with that for the party. I was able to get the icing made and all the cupcakes iced during nap time, it worked out really well!
After nap with her cupcakes!
I kind of decided what I was going to do as I iced them, but I still think they turned out cute...pink and purple of course. And with the age of the kids they really enjoyed getting to pick a letter they wanted.
When Daddy got home we did a video conference with Nana, Papa, & Ashlee on one laptop and Granny on the other laptop so they could see Madilynn and watch her open her gifts!

Opening her first gift
It's the unicorn pillow pet she's been asking for for months...
She got TinkerBell movie and Aladdin movie!
Elizabeth trying to help her out a little...
It's a t-ball set. We took it outside and let her try it out for awhile. The grandparents are watching - see the laptops in the background!
She did a really good job and really enjoyed it! We thought it was so cool that the grandparents got to watch her too!
Party time...we invited two families from church to celebrate with us! Everything all set up...
After enjoying some pizza, breadsticks and fruit it was time for cupcakes!
Madilynn with her cupcake...I promise there are four candles on it, one must be hiding!
a little shy while everyone was singing to her
just after she blew out all the candles, see there are four!
Madilynn wanted the kids to decorate their cupcakes with sprinkles, so I had three different kinds set out for them and they enjoyed piling them on!!
her first bite...so good!
Elizabeth enjoying hers too!

so cute
Shortly after opening presents we all headed out to the fun park so the kids could play the softplay (climbing through tunnels with slides).
The kids disappeared in the tunnels, so I couldn't really get pictures. Elizabeth wanted to keep up so bad. She got just inside the entrance and played a little. She also walked around everywhere! Here's the one and only picture I took at the fun park...
Well, I think Madilynn had a great day and a great time with her friends! Can't believe she's really four, she's already counting down till she's 5 and can go to the "different school" (Kindergarten).

Amazing! I still remember the day she was born. I love the laptop set up.

Looks like a fun birthday party! After making her last 3, it was kind of sad to not be a part of it. Miss you guys!!!
