we had a great day today. christmas in the morning and birthday celebration in the evening. we decided to continue the tradition of birthday balloons from santa, but this year, we went a little bigger and better. madeleine came downstairs to a huge balloon from santa. it had to be weighed down pretty heavily so that she didn't float away.
i got madeleine a huge box of coloring books that she slowly pulled out and stacked together. i love to see her personality come out in simple things like unwrapping a gift.
grocery shopping carts from marte, alex, and bryan.
musical instruments from grammy and grandpa bob.
the felt food was a big hit. thankfully. i finally finished it all last night, even though i swore that i would finish it long ago and not be doing it at the last minute.
both madeleine and diane loved the food.
birthday cupcakes after christmas dinner, followed by birthday gifts.
an art kit from grandpa bob and grammy.
a new helmet to go with a new...
bike! our big birthday gift to madeleine was a pink strider bike. she loved it. she has been asking for a bike for her birthday for months - it was hard to wait to pull it out until now. i think she'll have a blast with it.
diane spent the day running around and darting up the stairs at any chance she could get.
it was a great day, spent with family, giving, and remembering the birth of our savior. merry christmas to all, and a happy new year!
