Princess Madelyn

Madelyn turned three on Monday. She has been looking forward to her birthday for weeks and was so excited for the day to arrive. I can't believe she's three already.

She picked out this rainbow cake for me to make. Thank goodness because my cake making skills are pretty limited. She has worked hard learning to hold up three fingers and was so proud to have mastered it that she wanted to do it with both hands!

Madelyn invited over a few girls from church to play dress-ups with. We let her open up this box of Princess dress-ups that morning so they could play with them. The girls were so cute. Madelyn was a true princess and didn't want to share everything with the other girls. She is just starting to get into playing with friends. They were all adorable in their princess outfits!

Madelyn is such a little sweetie. She loves both of her sisters, her brothers, and Mom and Dad. She often walks around telling me everyone she loves. She loves to give hugs. She loves to play babies. She LOVES princesses. She loves to dress-up and Bruce and Will fight over who gets to marry her all the time. As sweet as she is, she has recently developed a little defiant streak that we are trying to get under control. She can be quite stubborn, but thankfully we usually see the sweet side of her! We love our little Madelyn!
