Madison's 4 Year Old Pics with Tinkerbell

Crazy to think this all started 4 years ago, we love you Tink!

Miss Maddie Sue with Tinkerbell at 2 weeks old.

Fun with Grandma Karen

On week 3 of Scottie being out of town my Mom flew in to keep Madison and I company. We really loved having her and partied all day everyday!

Monday- we picked her up at the airport, went to dinner, and did some birthday shopping

She tried out Boba's World and liked it;)

Tuesday- was Madison's birthday and was full of birthday celebrations. We even made homemade lobster mac and cheese.

Grandma is fun and plays with her at Kangaroo Zoo

Wednesday- we went to ballet class, the rec center to swim, cold stone, and then down to Provo to spend the evening with my little bro. We walked around his UVU campus, checked out his apartment, and went out to dinner.

Thursday- was our last day with my MOM:( the time went by too fast. Maddie had preschool in the morning, I went to the temple, then we all went to lunch with my Mom's sister Julie, and then visited my Mom's Aunt and Uncle.

We really appreciated the time my Mom took to spend with us, it helped that week fly by! Miss you Mom and thanks for coming.

Madison is 4!!!

My head is still spinning that my baby girl is 4 years old! 4 seems so OLD! These past 4 years have been the best years of my life, and I adore being her Mom. Madison truly is God's best gift to Scottie and I, and we realize more and more each day what a miracle she is, we are blessed to have her in our home. I love birthdays and had so much fun making it a special day for Maddie. Here are some pictures to document the birthday celebrations.

Maddie's birthday celebrations started off with her getting sang to in primary at our church. She is the cutest little Sunbeam I have ever seen, and it makes me so happy that she has handled the transition from nursery to primary like a champ. She has great teachers who even stopped by our house on her birthday to wish her a happy birthday.

Grandma Karen flew into town to spend the special day with us because Daddy was in Washington D.C. and we were lonely. This was the first birthday my Mom has been in town for and we really loved having her. The night before Madison's birthday my Mom took her shopping and Madison was in Heaven at Ross filling the shopping cart with gifts:) Grandparents are the BEST!

Birthday morning. Maddie still talks about her birthday donut in bed with a candle. My Mom and I had snuck into Madison's room during the night and decorated, Maddie was so surprised when she woke up!

After breakfast we were off to Kangaroo Zoo to party with friends! When I asked Maddie what she wanted to do for her birthday she said to go to Kangaroo Zoo and McDonalds so that is exactly what we did.

Our friends at KZ

Getting her daily hidden treasure from Daddy while he was away in Washington D.C. This one was a special b-day gift.

Lunch at "Old McDonald's"

Getting ice cream with Gma at Cold Stone from Gpa Hansen. She was in HEAVEN with all the choices!!!

So excited about her Frozen Legos from Dad. I adore watching them play Legos together!

Maddie with her Birthday Loot!

Once Scottie was back in town we had her birthday party with friends! This year Madison asked for a carnival party, so we had magic, face painting, and all types of carnival games. It was a fun and BUSY night with 10 little friends + siblings!!!

Playing duck duck goose, Maddie's FHE night favorite

Magic by my talented cousin Nathan! He did a great job and had the full attention of 10+ little kids between the ages of 3-4, not an easy feat to pull off! I think the parents were entertained too:)
