On the 8th of this month we celebrated a very special day, Madalyn and Eli (my niece and nephew) had their second Birthday. This ended up being quite a big, fun celebration! Madalyn was suppose to be in the hospital feeling yucky on her birthday due to her scheduled stem cell replacement but instead got to home feeling pretty good, even eating more than her usual fish crackers. I decided that we needed to party and party BIG! I told Trish I would take care of all the party planning and that she just needed to invite the guests. The girls and I went out early to decorate and play all day with the birthday kids. It was soo much fun. We played ring around the rosies, hide and seek, Eli and Madalyn both managed to let their balloons go which floated to the top of the vaulted ceilings, Madalyn was walking around and I helped her kick balloons all over and we sang "Happy Birthday to you" over and over again to which the twins would get huge grins and clap their hands when we would say their names. I loved seeing them, but especially Madalyn, so happy. That night the guests showed up for cake and ice cream. I wish I would have taken a picture of how many people were there. So many people came to be apart of the big day!
Madalyn and Kate are always giving "luvs".

My kids love to go out to their cousins because they have the funnest toys!This horse scoots along and you really gallop!
The girls with my cute Aunt Cathy...she's soo fun!
"When is the party going to start?" 
The basketball hoop blew over and landed this close to my car!!
I had to take a picture because is was nothing short of a miracle that I didn't end up with a major scratch or dent in my car. Terrell's finger is touching the bb hoop and my car!
I had sooo much fun making their cakes. Madalyn's is a carousel and Eli's is a farm cake...
of course!

These picture just melt your heart!! And who knew you had such crazy cake making skills?!?!?! Ray (my boss) and his wife took dinner out to Trish and Terrell the other night and they were in such awe at the strength that both of them have! Our prayers are with you all!
you need to go into business. What cute cakes! I think were going to try to go to the movie sometime this week! And I'm throwing myself a b-day party since we say were always going to get together and we never do. Sometime the around 1st week of Feb. we'll have to decide on a good night for everyone. Hope you can come!
Looks like a great party! I'm so glad that you guys were able to have such a fun time with madelyn. The cakes that you made them are awesome!!!! I didn't know you were so talented at cake making. How about you make my kid's for them?
