Yes, believe it or not, Madeline is now five years old! She celebrated with three parties - one with preschool friends, one with my relatives in Iowa, and one at our place with Lisa's relatives. That's three cakes, plus all the overeating from Thanksgiving!

Back in Minnesota, Maddie celebrates getting her Barbie Fairytopia figurines.

Cool gloves from Oma and Opa. The hair on each finger is an especially nice touch!

Happy Birthday, Madeline!!
