Maddy's 3rd Birthday!!

Our sweet Maddy has now entered the wonderful world of a 3 year old!! She had a super fabulous birthday celebration. We left early on Friday and headed to Palm Springs and spent the entire weekend celebrating Maddy and all her wonderfulness.

Our BIG 3 year old

Opening presents bright and early birthday morning--some of her favorite birthday presents were her baby doll care kit (stroller, highchair, crib) and a ride-on plasma car

HOW old am I???

We arrived in Palm Springs and hung out at the pool/splash pad/beach area/water slides/lazy river at the Las Palmas Resort for the rest of the day (and the rest of the weekend)! The weather was totally perfect and it was so amazing to be together under a big bright blue sky with the five of us floating along side by side--(Well, Will was on laps) along the lazy river. Not a care in the world--and it seemed to feel like we were the only ones in the world.

That night we went to one of our favorite restaurants--Babe's

They have the most AMAZING sweet potato fries!

Hanging out at grandpa Ed's and Grandma Nancy's is always fun

We talked Gramps into going to the Living Desert Zoo with us

Dad and Nancy had a wonderful party all set up at their house--complete with a yummy feast and this little birthday hat

The cupcakes and ice cream were delicious

(Seconds after this picture was taken Maddy's hair lit on fire!!)

What a wonderful way to celebrate such a wonderful, sweetheart as Maddy! She is truly one of the most caring girls that you will ever meet. She is always there to watch out for Will and helps out with him without even having to be asked. But Maddy is also so amazingly thoughtful and loving towards everyone. She is a cheerful, easy going girl who is so selfless and creative. We are so blessed to have her in our family! Happy birthday Maddy!!

The next week, we got to bring cupcakes to share with Maddy's preschool where they sang and celebrated her some more!!
