Birthday Celebration.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRINCESS MADELINE!!

Today is Andrew's birthday. I woke up around 8:00am to start getting ready for church and I looked outside the window and it was a winter wonderland. Everything was white and covered with snow! I woke up Andrew and told him to look outside the window and said, Happy Birthday Andrew! This is a birthday he will always remember because of all the snow. I think we got at least four inches.

We had a big party to celebrate Andrew and Madeline's birthday. There were 14 from Andrew's side of the family and 17 from my side of the family that came to our house to celebrate. We had a yummy dinner--cafe rio tacos (Andrew's favorite). Then Andrew and Madeline opened presents and we had cake and ice cream. Thanks so much for all of you who came to help celebrate Andrew and Maddy's birthday. We had so much fun!

THE CAKE!!!

Andrew's cake. It's an ice cream oreo cake.

Madeline's cake: a princess barbie cake.
I also make cupcakes to go with the barbie cake.

THE FAMILY!!!

The studs.

THE PRESENTS!!!
Andrew got some clothes, money, a football, a dry erase board, and cologne for his birthday. Madeline got more polly pockets, a barbie with a movie, books, a bracelet, barbie cd player, four goldfish and dress-ups. As soon as the dress-up treasure box got opened, Madeline and her cousins dressed up. I have a hard time getting Madeline to not dress-up.

THE SNOW!!!

I put this picture up not only because it's of my beautiful sisters but you can see all the snow out of the window.
