Say it aint so!

Well I've been MIA in the blog world for over a week, but with good cause... I have been preparing for my daughter"s FIFTH birthday! How is that even possible??!! Five is just SO big and SO special! It seems like yesterday I was bringing Miss Priss home... I still picture her as my cute little 2 year old... I don't see her as the often sweet, always diva, precocious little lady she has become.

We spent her day playing, laughing, lunching, and waiting for daddy to hurry home so she could open her gifts and go to her birthday dinner (Outback of course... The Peanut restaurant (aka Logan's) "only gives a yee haw and (per Mad) I need some singin'!)

Cupcakes we made for school

Madison is quite amazing! Yes, she drives me BATTY... She is very MUCH my mini (the traits I would rather ignore about myself? Yup, she has them all lol). I was desperate for a girly girl and with each argument over "leggings are TO pants even under a dress and I do NOT wear pants! That is for BOYS!" I am reminded that I wanted tutus and ballet and by owls that is what I have received....

She is most definitely one of a kind and I am so glad she was given to me :) She is my snuggle bug, she is my shopping partner, and she is my project runway date. I cannot imagine my world with out her!

In the last five years she has really come out of her shell and has developed quite a personality... She is quite the comedian and Jason and I spit drinks often because of her wit, observations, or explanations. Madison looks at life in a way that makes it so much more interesting... I love seeing the world through her eyes. It is such a gift and one that I cherish...

Madison tells us often that we are her treasure, but I think the true treasure is my little miss herself! Happy birthday baby girl we love you more then you will ever know!
