Madeline turns 4

One of my great friends sweet daughter, Madeline, turned 4 a couple of weekends ago - and what a party she had! The theme was pirates and princesses - what fun! Madeline always has the best birthday parties and this year was no different! We gathered at the new Vestavia Hills Library (so nice!!) and started the party off with a magic show - a real hit with everyone and then ended with yummy cake and ice cream! While Catherine Ellis did not partake in the dressing up part it didn't stop her from having a blast .... she also took along Lulu to the party and I think Lulu had as much fun as a doll can have :)

Happy birthday sweet Madeline!! We can't believe you are 4 years old - seems like yesterday you were a tiny newborn .... we had such a good time and can't wait to celebrate again next year!

Lovin' the show ... this girl knows funny when she sees it

Next thing you know baby Lulu had her own seat

Next she switched sides ....

Then she gave Lulu away ... just like that ...

What a good sport (I might add CE had never met him before)!

Checking in on Lulu - looks like he's doing a great job :)
