Happy Third Birthday Madeline Grace

Madeline turned 3 yesterday. We had to postpone her birthday until today because she was not feeling well. She had a wonderful birthday celebration today and was thrilled with every single gift. Maddy and I took a long time making her cake according to her specifications- strawberry ice cream cake with hearts, crowns and frinkles -purple and pink. Somehow I don't think I would have won a prize on Cake Wars.
I gave her an Easy Bake Oven, hoping I could get away with using less of mine, since Maddy loves to bake. Actually I think she just likes to make the batter and lick it, but hopefully she will like her very own oven.  Aunt Tracy gave her a pretty apron and other accessories for cooking. Aunt Stacy, Winny, Wauren and Alan gave her the purple socks and shirt that she requested plus a purple skirt and sweater. Grandma Susie gave her a doll clothed in purlpe. Nana gave her ladybug luggage and accessories. Aunt Amy painted Maddy a rocking chair. Winny provided an extra special Maddy gift complete with all her favorites - chap stick, nail polish and a tutu. Who needs Christmas when your birthday is December 17th and you are surrounded by loved ones?
