Maddie's birthday

Another birthday! Let's do this again.

Her scooter broke so she's been asking for a new one. Ask and ye shall receive!

Hot cocoa with breakfast- it was a chilly day!

She requested a raspberry cake with raspberry icing. Okay.

Maddie peeled her first cucumber and created this space masterpiece at art class. 

Daddy's home! With flowers!

Time for opening presents.

She was very excited about her new booster seat. This girl is done with carseats!

Daryn had to see if she would fit in the bag. She did. 

Sweet ride. For her and her dolls.

After dinner we watched "Is it Cake?" on Netflix. The kids loved it. 

Dixie had to try out her new equipment. 

Close, Dixie. Close.

Let's have some cake! (So we can go to bed...)

The next day she got her bike doll seat all set up to see if she fit. Perfect!

The next weekend we invited all her kindergarten friends to a gymnastics party. So fun and low stress for me!

Dixie loved being a free baby.

Opening presents.

Throw her in the pit!
