So as most of you know we celebrated Maddox's 2nd birthday yesterday complete with an ELMO cupcake cake. We had so much fun and want to thank everyone for traveling over to celebrate with us. Maddox took a great nap in the AM so she was ready to go when she woke up and the house was filled with all her guests. It took her a bit to warm up but once she discovered the Elmo singing balloon, from Jen and Tim Foley, she was good to go. We had Subway sandwhiches, chips, fruit, veggies, Aunt Diane's beans and Grammy Marti's grape salad and corn Frito salad...YUM. Maddox didn't eat much for lunch, I suppose because she was saving up for Elmo cake. It was quite tasty. She even blew out her own candles. You can sort of see in one of the pictures she is BLOWING. She did a great job. She got lots of great gifts, most of them Elmo themed, and a lot of money to go towards a swing set for the backyard. Eric and I have been researching swing sets online most of the day and I think we've got one picked out which definitely appears to be the easy part. Putting it together is another story, but we are excited to have something fun for the kids to do in the backyard for years to come. I can't believe she is 2 already! She is growing up so fast and is SO talkative. This AM she and Eric got up before Kennon and I did. So when I brought Kennon down she QUICKLY said to me 'put him in the bouncy seat'. Just so matter of fact....like she wanted him there so she could look after him. She was up on the couch having her morning milk and the bouncy seat was down on the ground in front of the couch. Even though he is taking some of her 'Maddox Time' from mom and dad it is definintely evident she loves him and cares about him. Well lots of pictures, so I better get to uploading. Sorry the video is so shaky, I couldn't help but laugh at her a bit while I was filming. So cute. We love her dearly. Happy Birthday Maddox!
