HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY, Princess Maddie!

So 5 years ago this day, I would be in labor right about now...the stubborn thing wouldn't arrive for another hr...but when she did arrive, "DADDY'S BIG SCREEN!" were the first words out of my husband's mouth!  Thanks, Honey...I'm doing GREAT! ;)  He still argues about it being his EXACT first words, but you get the gist....

Anyways, our Princess (yes, I know if you keep calling them that they turn into one...TOO LATE!) turned 5 today!  How time flies.  She has brought us so much joy and although at times we can argue with the following statement, she really has been so awesome.  We love her to death of course, but the most fun we have with her probably has to do with the conversations and vocabulary usage we have with her...Synergy = BONUS! for Daddy :)  Today was definitely a day ALL ABOUT MADDIE...Pink, Princess and All!!

She chose to celebrate her Big 5 at Build A Bear... followed by dinner at CPK.  Thank you to EVERYONE who came, called or thought of her today...our phone never rang so much in one day :)  She probably got more calls than Mark and I put together all year! 

  

(Yes, Mommy made the cake/cupcakes from scratch in a rare wanna-be Martha Stewart moment...thanks to NaNa helping out of course :P)
