Madeline just celebrated her third birthday. Since she is a little jealous of all the attention Isaac has been getting, we're going to focus on her pictures for this entry, then catch up in a day or two with the latest for Isaac.
First, Madeline celebrated her birthday in Minneapolis with Oma and the Schulte's.
Next, we traveled to Iowa for Thanksgiving. Here's Maddie on the traditional Turkey Hunt.
Maddie's cousins then joined her for a Princess Party. Madeline loves princesses and Cinderella, so she was excited that her cousins came to celebrate with her in costume.
Decorating the cake...
The best part about decorating the cake... "Yum, Grandma!!"
Madeline, Blake, Katelyn, Madison, and B.J.
Prince Blake surveys his minions....
Grandma and Grandpa with all the grandchildren.
Katelyn enjoys some quality time with Cousin Isaac.
And one of Isaac just for fun!!
We hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving!!!
Madeline: How fun to see your birthday photos! Wasn't that a happy week? It was so special to have you visiting, sleeping in the Magic Bed, eating donuts with Grandpa, the Turkey Hunt, the Princess Party, and playing with your cousins. And singing our favorite two songs: Hush, Little Baby and the Family Song. We hope you come back to "I-no-wah" soon! And, thanks for keeping Daddy awake for the long drive in, all the way til 12:30 AM!! Hugs from Iowa, Grandma R.
Maddy--we're so glad you came to sit with us at the big girl table at your birthday party! we loved having you, because you totally are a big girl (and really cool to boot :D). Give a kiss to Issac for me, ok?
