Happy Birthday to you…

Happy Birthday to our big FOUR year old, Miss Madeline Belle Randolph! Last weekend we celebrated Maddie’s big number 4…well, we didn’t really do much celebrating since both kids had double ear infections :-( Our big plans to have a beach party and go to Legoland and the zoo have been put on hold. However, we did have a lot of fun hanging around the house and enjoying each other’s company. Maddie didn’t really seem to miss the big party this year. She was happy to open her presents with Mommy, Daddy & Collin (she got a full new wardrobe) and we took her to the bike shop to pick out her very own big girl bike. She was so excited and completely surprised when we arrived at the bike shop. She had a blast riding her bike all weekend long. The weather here was beautiful and we enjoyed spending lots of time outside. They even played around with the hose for a while.

I found this brilliant idea on Pinterest and I am excited to start this new tradition with both of the kids. Starting on the child’s third birthday (we are a year late with Maddie, but that’s okay), every year on their birthday you ask the same 20 questions and see how their answers change over the years! I asked Maddie these questions on Saturday and here are her answers:

Madeline – you have always been wise beyond your years. You are so intelligent, intuitive and just an all around special little girl. You never cease to amaze us with the brilliant things you say and big girl things you do. You love your hip hop class, riding your bike, swimming, singing, and going to school. You love your brother so very much and are a great big sister (most of the time). You can be a handful sometimes because you are so very smart and know just how to push our buttons. We love you anyway! Can’t wait to see what exciting things you have in store for us this year. We love you baby girl!
