This year, Madi's birthday was a little chaotic. We were so tired from moving, we postponed her party; however, we did have a little celebration of our own.


The following week, we had a little family party at a pizza parlor. Madi enjoyed being queen for the day. (But who are we kidding, she is always the queen.) She definitely got hooked up from her grandparents, parents, aunts, and "uncles" (Chris and Julian have been adopted). The Elmo party wasn't as huge as we originally planned, but we were still in a whirlwind from moving.

Notice the Elmo slippers from Erin? Madi kissed them after she put them on her feet.
