Madelyn celebrated her second birthday over the weekend. We did not throw an official party, but a small contingent of family (Pa Mark, Ms. Mary Ann, Uncle Tim, Gamma Linda and Pa Clinton) and friends (Miss Crystal and her niece Hannah and Mr. Pat and Mrs. Karen) dropped in for a hot dog dinner (Madelyn's favorite), cake (St. Louis dobosh cake decorated with an Elmo face) and ice cream, and presents. I created a video of all the fun from our pictures as displayed below.
Madelyn spent her actual birthday eating daddy's yummy eggs for
breakfast, playing outside, swimming at the pool, going to the Disney
store for a fun plate, opening gifts and eating her two favorite things -
hot dogs and icing. The girls also spent the weekend visiting the zoo, playing in the yard, playing in water, blowing bubbles and enjoying all of Madelyn's new toys.
On Friday, we went to a fun English gastropub where the girls split tomato soup and grilled cheese. Instead of getting the soup all over her shirt, Madelyn opted to remove it and throw it on the floor. Since she's only two, it was quite entertaining!
On Saturday, we had Kaitlyn's preschool graduation (see previous blog) and Pa Mark's birthday celebration. Since we finished off the dosbosh cake prior to his small fiesta, we had a simple chocolate cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream icing. We definitely got our fill of cake these last few days. In addition to cake, we made sushi to share with everyone. Deliciousness all around!!
For those of you not here, we hope to see you later this summer in our current location or in our new one!!
