Maddie Is 4!

I cannot believe I have a 4-year old already. Maddie turned four last Thursday on the 1st of March. I haven't been able to get to the computer all week since I haven't been feeling well.

Her birthday "celebration" started the weekend before when Brian's mom took her to a shop down town Plano called Nooks & Kranies to pick out a new baby doll. This was the cutest thing I have ever seen. When you walk into the store to the left is a mock hospital nursery with life size newborns in little hospital-like newborn beds. First the store owner came up with a questionnaire for Maddie about how she's going to love this new baby, and take care of her etc... then the lady went into the nursery and waited for Maddie to pick out the doll she would like to see. Maddie wanted to see about 4 different babies before she picked a blond one from the back. The baby came with a paci, a tiny little new testament bible and a new parent packet.

On Thursday, her birthday, Brian and I took donuts to her preschool class and sang happy birthday to her. Then, for diner, she chose to go to Panera Bread. We taught her well! ha. I thought it would have been Chick-fil-a, but Panera Bread has yogurt in their kids meals. (She has yogurt for breakfast everyday, but....what ever she wants!)

Singing in Chapel

They gave her the birthday blessing, then sang Happy Birthday in Chapel.

After Panera Bread, we came home to some delicious cup cakes I bought from a bakery down the street.

The next Saturday we had a big party with her friends from preschool that will be in the next post. For now, I have a 4-year-old wanting attention.
