Addy's 2nd birthday

Yesterday morning we gave Madeleine her gifts before John went to work. Papa Neal gave Addy her very own leappad and James tried to show her how to play with it. But she has been watching James play with his for the past year, so she didn't need his help and promptly shoved him away and told him to "stay" like she tells the dogs.

 

James helped pick out several dress up princess things for her, including a tiara and little princess plastic shoes. She wore those shoes until her feet hurt so bad that with every step she was saying "ow" and I had to hide them. She loves dressing up!



 

Our wonderful friend Brooke also has the same birthday and brought over birthday donuts for everyone! It was an awesome fun breakfast play date :)



 

The birthday girls!



 

We invited over two of our closest family friends over for dinner and cupcakes. The kids all ran around outside and had a blast - can't ask for much more than that!



 

Madeleine kept checking everyone else out to make sure it was ok to be this messy - we usually try to correct her when she eats like a crazy person... but there really isn't any other way to eat a huge cupcake! 

 

 

James got just as messy - but I'm pretty sure he did his on purpose.



 

After we got all cleaned up, the kids were on a major sugar high - but that resulted in lots of giggling and hugs! Can't go wrong with an ending like that :) It was a sweet little 2nd birthday, just like her.
