Madison's birthday party

Madison had a birthday party today! She is now 4 years old.
We went to pick up her birthday cake before the party. As the clip from my cell phone will show, she was ecstatic beyond the power of words to convey.

The highlight of the day was when the kids sang happy birthday to madison. The still photos don't do justice to her coy expression as they sang. Where's a video camera when you need one?

this is why we call him the 2 handed eating machine.
