Maddie Girl turns TWO!!

While we were AZ we celebrated Maddie's birthday! I can't believe she's TWO!  Has it really been two years since we took a last minute trip to North Dakota to meet her sweet birth parents?  Has it really been two years since she slept so soundly in my arms as a tiny baby? That only lasted two weeks... for the following 4 months she cried and cried but then she realized that life with the Alleman family wasn't too bad.  :)  She's gotten so big and she's grown into such a beautiful little girl. We couldn't ask for anything more!! We love our sweet Maddie Girl and couldn't imagine our lives without her. So, here are some pics of the party....

Mads loved her cupcakes and thought the candles were the coolest thing EVER!

I LOVE this picture! Maddie is so happy and smiley! It's so fun to catch her personality on camera.  :)

I know this picture is blury but it's the ONLY family pic we got the entire time we were there! I'm always behind the camera and rarely remember to have someone take a pic of ALL of us.  :)

Maddie loved her cupcakes and scarfed two of them before we could even count to ten!  We had spaghetti for dinner and she was wearing the cutest WHITE shirt so I stripped her down for dinner and dessert.  :)

Bry loved the cupcakes too!

After cupcakes Maddie realized that she was missing out on the ice cream....

And boy did she love it!

For her birthday we got her a barbie kitchen. She LOVES it! We didn't take it to AZ so we gave it to her when we got back. She and Bry have been playing with it ever since.  :)
