Today is Maddie's birthday!! It is so hard to believe she is FOUR YEARS OLD already!!!! Boy how times flies!
She was so excited this morning. She couldn't wait for everyone to get up and for us to get started with all the fun! She got a phone call from Addison on her way to school to tell her happy birthday and I couldn't resist taking a picture. They were so cute on the phone together!
We let her open ONE present before we left to have breakfast. She was excited to see that Ashton had gotten her a phone (like Daddy's) and a drivers license. Isn't it funny the things kids get excited about?!?!
For breakfast we took the kids to the Pfunky Griddle. It was a neat place. You get to make your own pancakes on a griddle built in to your table. Each of us got to choose one topping to go into our pancake batter. Alex got strawberries, me apples, Ashton chocolate chips and Maddie chose m & m's. Yes, a great way to start the day! LOTS OF SUGAR.... as if Maddie needed to be any more excited!
After we got home, we let her open a couple more presents and then we headed off to Jimmy Floyd to do some swimming!! We had a really good time and Ashton and Maddie were tired when we got done. Of course, Maddie was pleasantly surprised when she got home. She had a special delivery waiting in the garage on the steps! She had a bouquet of balloons attached to a present. She screamed with excitement and couldn't wait to get inside to check it out!! (We have some of the greatest friends!!)
After a short rest, we had dinner with Papa, Grammy and Papa Monkey at the "peanut place" (aka Logan's). Maddie didn't think she'd had enough sugar, so she was anxious for everyone to finish up their dinner so we could have cake.
Once she ate just the icing, she wanted to see what she got from her grandparents. Yes, there were MORE presents! She was more than excited!
It has been a great day and I'm so glad that Alex got to stay home today and spend it with us!!!
