Miss Maddie is 5...

...where did the time go?! Well, Maddie turned 5 a week ago. Gosh, she is growing up fast, too fast!!!

We had a fun party this year. Since the party was so close to the new baby's due date, we had to keep it simple for anyone to pull-off in case we were at the hospital. So, we did the unthinkable and what we said would never happen, we approved the princess party. Yes, Elsa herself stopped by our house and entertained 5 little girls and one loving brother for an hour and a half. Let me just say that was the SMARTEST thing we have ever done. If I recall, Jeremy cracked a beer open at one point as he kicked back and watched. The princess literally did it all. Heck, she even brought the cupcakes. Money well spent people....that's the opinion of one very pregnant mama! Anyway, the kids loved it and Maddie now wants to visit Annadale (sp?) where Elsa is from and Luke asked for Ana to visit for his birthday. Funny. Safe to say they had the time of their lives!!! The little lady has certainly grown up too fast. She was very excited to get a new-to-her bike on her birthday and has been on it non-stop.
