But holiday birthdays can be an even bigger challenge to pull off! Here in our house we have two holiday birthdays. Joel is a Christmas baby.Yes, he is that special! ;) And Madi's birthday falls right around Thanksgiving and occasionally on the day.
This year Thanksgiving found us headed to Ohio to spend the holiday with the Mast side of the family. We are quite a crowd anymore.There is definitely no lack of noise and action, at least on the children's part! ;) ;)
This is all 4o something of us.
But like I was saying, we had a birthday to celebrate.Madi's 2 year mark was coming up.So the day after Thanksgiving we threw a little party for her.
If there ever was a child that loved life and all it's goodness, it's our Madi. She is such a ball of energy and full of mischief, but so much fun and giggles all at the same time!
She is a lover of anything sweet, you name it.If it has sugar, good chance she might take it.
She also loves bananas and oranges and grapes.
You try to get her to eat soup and that can be almost an impossibility at times!
Candy is still her favorite!
One night at 2:00 AM, I found this cute,mischievous,ball of energy in the kitchen, standing on the counter trying to get into the candy jars on top the fridge (and yes, you read right, that was 2:00 AM!)
She definitely doesn't leave us lacking for action!
She loves her daddy, the outdoors, the chickens and the cats.
Her big siblings are her heros.
She runs to Hailey if she wants to be pitied :) It really is so cute.Hailey is like a second mommy to her. But Madi also takes advantage of that and demands that Hailey fix her blanket, or holds her hand or tickle her feet! :) I think they will be best friends in a few years.
She also loves to pray! Almost every night she wants to "pay" (pray). She then squeezes her eyes shut and whispers a prayer for "mommy,dayee (daddy),Haya (Hailey) ,Bax (Braxton),Me (herself) :) " and then ends it with a hearty "min"(amen).
We can't imagine life without this little girl.As busy as she keeps us, we are still very thankful for her presence in our life.
Sometimes when I'm weary of all the busyness and lots of times naughtiness right along with it :), the thought just crosses my mind that I am so thankful that she is a healthy little girl with the ability to get around the way she does, even though it drains every good thing right out of me at times! :)
So my dear Madi girl, may you always face life with such energy and spunk! Someday I know that will be of good use to you :) We love you dearly.
