Birthday Fun

Yesterday in church Susie turned around and said..."you haven't updated your blog for a while!!" So I figured I better do something about it.

Yesterday was Madison's 2nd birthday. It's so crazy to think that she is already 2 years old, time REALLY does go FAST! She has been so much fun and such a blessing to us these past 2 years and we are SO thankful that God has blessed us with her. We've had our trials with her, but looking back it's easy to forget about the bad stuff and just remember the good!!

On Saturday night we had a party for her with Blare's family and some of mine. She was one happy little girl and was on cloud nine all night long! (she actually woke up really early on Sunday morning and instantly wanted to go play with all of her new toys!) On Sunday night we had Grandpa and Grandma Fiechter over because they couldn't come on Sat. night, and since they just got home from vacation Todd & Teresa came over too.

Ever since we went to Florida in Nov. she's really been into Nemo, so we decided to do a Nemo cake. I was getting ready to draw the Nemo on the cake and chickened out, so Blare ended up doing that part, and I'm so thankful he did. He did a GREAT job!!

I think the cupcakes were my favorite part of decorating!! If you can't tell, the ones with the teddy grahams are supposed to be a beach with the bears "floating" in the rings and the other ones are just a small version on the cake.She loved blowing out the candles and asked to do it again and again.Madison loves to play the piano, so mom and dad got her a little keyboard she can carry around and play!!Dan & Audra got her a little princess hair set and the blow dryer really blows. She thought she needed to blow dry her hair with me on Sunday morning!!We had to convince her that she couldn't wear the shoes to church:) and she insisted on wearing the dress the next night too:) She LOVES both of them:)
Todd & Teresa gave her this harmonica...hopefully she'll take after her grandpa and Uncle Travis and play a real one someday!Thanks to everyone who came to her party!! We are so thankful for all of our family!!

The cake is really cute. I was imagining the seaweed standing up. The cake makes a lot more sense now. Oh well. The kids had fun.

Janel,
Very cute pictures. She sure liked her "presents". I think she's going to be a girly girl.

Adorable cake, Janel! Happy Birthday, Madison.
Sarah Q

Did you use frosting or some kind of candy for the seaweed? It looks really good.

Janel said...

Sarah...the seaweed is made out of Fruit by the Foot candy. It was really easy!!
