madison’s birthday isn’t till this week but we usually have to work around brian’s incredibly crazy schedule (even more so lately, but that is for a different post) — so that meant this weekend we PARRRRRRRTIED! thank you to everyone who made it out, especially my mom who flew in for the weekend and endured the freezing cold to help me set it all up! Madison had the BEST DAY EVER!! she’s a lucky little girl. and so are we to have such great friends & family who love her so much.

and it hasn’t entirely hit me yet that she is going to be turning TWO this week. i am letting it slowly seep in so i don’t completely lose it. check back thursday for my mother meltdown, her year in review & how i wish i could keep her this little forever. xx
