Madeline's 4th Birthday

Maddie had quite a birthday (or should I say birth week) this year.  We celebrated with our families on Saturday, she had an overnight at Grandma and Grandpa's on Sunday, went shopping with Grandma and had a little party with them on Monday, went to the waterpark and County fair with us on Tuesday (her actual birthday), and then had a party at a park with friends.  I don't know who was more tired after it all, me or her!  We wanted to make sure this year she felt special on her day given the new baby in the house and I think we succeeded.  She had a Strawberry Shortcake party and the girls were decked out in their strawberry themed outfits for both parties.  It's so much fun dressing two girls now.  It's hard to believe that Maddie is 4, but she does seem so big now compared to little Emmie!  Some days it seems like she's 4, going on 14.  But she's still our little girl and we love her so much!

Here are pictures from the family celebration
