It was such a big day for us. It was Madeline’s birthday, it was Easter, it was Baba’s birthday – it was lots of fun. Madeline woke up to a small Easter egg hunt and a gift from the Easter bunny. After that it was breakfast time and time for Ryan to get up. The whole house was decorated with balloons and streamers – it was party central!
We wanted to throw a nice party for Madeline so we decided to invite over our friends for dinner who had a daughter (Mia) who is two weeks younger than Madeline. She is probably Madeline’s closest friend for now. Ryan is also very good friends with Mia’s sister Emily

Madeline’s big gift for her birthday was her very own kitchen. This was a bit difficult to wrap so we built it the night before and covered it with a blanket. Here are a few photos of her opening it!

Here is a video of Madeline opening her new gift! You can tell she likes it and knows right what to do!
For dinner we had Madeline’s favorite meal – spaghetti with daddy’s homemade bread. Then it was time for the cake – we made a chocolate cake (homemade, of course) with lots of fruit and whipped cream. YUMMY!!
Here are some photos of Madeline eating her cake!
