And like this:
And here she is this morning (gotta love that 2 year old attitude!!)
Here's my precious angel:
Ryan and I went upstairs and opened her door to sing Happy Birthday to her. She stood there in the dark staring at us with a blank look on her face like "what is going on here"? She didn't smile, she didn't duck her head, she just stood there looking at us like we were crazy! Oh well!
First stop - Krispy Kreme with mommy & Annie for a birthday doughnut!
She kept saying "oh wow" as she watched the doughnuts...it was precious!
She's a girl after her moms heart - loves the chocolate icing on a doughnut!
They brought her balloons - her favorite!
Next stop...gymnastics class! They all sang Happy Birthday to her again and once again she stood there just staring at everyone. Hilarious.
Next stop - Publix to get the ingredients to make an Elmo cake! She also got a Nemo balloon - her new favorite movie! We had lunch at home with daddy and then she went down for her nap. When she woke up, she got to watch Nemo...here she is snuggled with Annie watching Nemo
The Elmo cake! Annie did it all by herself - such a great job!!!
After cake, Ryan, Madison Claire & I went to Lifeway and bought her a children's Bible

She didn't smile, she didn't duck her head, she just stood there looking at us like we were crazy! Oh well!She doesn't really get the whole "birthday" thing but we had a great day anyway! I took the day off of work to spend the day with her and we had such fun!

After cake, Ryan, Madison Claire & I went to Lifeway and bought her a children's Bible and then went to Calypso for dinner. 2 funny stories from the day:
*First, Annie and I had several people at gymnastics and the grocery store ask us if today was her birthday. I felt like looking at them and saying "no...we just decided to put her in a "birthday girl" shirt with "birthday girl" hairbows and go out and about"! I mean, seriously?!?
*Second, Sarah sent me a message earlier saying "I love her birthday outfit and I love the Elmo cake...you are such a good mommy". My response was "Cheryl bought her the outfit and Annie made the cake...I'm a good outsourcer!" :)
She is now down for the night and I'm overwhelmed with emotions thinking about the last 2 years and how truly blessed I feel to be Madison Claire's mom. I know that she was created with a special purpose and it is such a joy to be a part of seeing her grow. Just like I said in my post about 11 years with Ryan, I truly could not have even begun to imagine what she would be like 2 years ago today when she was only 6 hours old! I love her sweet spirit, her inquisitive nature, her energy, even her stubbornness. Madison Claire - you are so special to me and I love you more than you know!!
