Madeline is 4 today, officially. We had her giant, crazy party on Saturday and it was a lot of fun.
We wanted to make a big deal about the day because very often we focus on Claire's exceptional needs. It was good for Maddie to have a special event all to herself and she was a very good hostess.
She hugged her friends (and kissed all the boys!) to thank them for gifts and didn't get too crazy with all of the attention and hubbub. It was an enjoyable time to connect with family and friends and here are some photos from the day!
I made the mistake of showing Madeline her cake that I had prepared a head of time. She decided to sample it to ensure it's deliciousness. So we used this as a backup cake and made a new one and mommy learned a valuable lesson.

The diva.
Her Disney Princess Astro Jump. It was a big hit!

Madeline enjoying cake in her favourite place. The stage.
Whenever anybody would ask her what she wanted for her birthday, she'd reply, "Barbies."
And Barbies she got!
She doesn't look excited at all...
Even Auntie Mel sent a gift from Ireland. Some fancy chocolates and a fuzzy lamb. It was very exciting to open the package she sent.
The kids had a blast in the gym with all the fun toys.
We had many people help us clean and pack up after the festivities were over. It was a very fun day!
