Madison: 2nd birthday

I didn't really share details about how we celebrated Madison's 2nd birthday.  We celebrated three different times, once with just the four of us on her actual birthday, then in North Carolina with my side of the family, then in West Virginia with Bryce's side of the family.  We found out one thing for sure: Maddie loves to blow out candles.  For weeks, she said "Maddie durday!"

On her actual birthday,

Daddy came home for lunch with a red car that she had been eyeing at the store for a few weeks.

I took her to our favorite park, complete with the big slide, a fun play ground, and farm animals.

We love the baby goats here.  This play ground is just a 5 minute drive from our place.  It's about a mile.  We've walked there before, but I've found that the walk back (after lots of play) is pretty rough for all of us.

That night we shared a chocolate "cupcake" muffin from the store since we were leaving early the next day to get on the plane and head to the USA.

The day after the wedding in NC, we had a family birthday party with the Adams/Beck/Bunker/Brereton gang.

In West Virginia with Mimi, Pops, and the Whited gang, we had a hippo birthday party with pizza and lots of cake.  Even a hippo pinata and party bags!

Just realized that I wore the same outfit for both birthday parties :-)
