happy 30th birthday, daddy (yesterday)

poor daddy had to work on his birthday, so madelyn and i entertained papa, nana, and uncle derek. we went to get some lunch at a mexican restaurant (their favorite type of food) in a converted train station. madelyn really liked her lunch and the decor of the restaurant.

then we went to target to get madelyn some christmas presents so that papa and nana wouldn't have to ship them later. one of the items we picked up is sort of a present for daddy too. madelyn got a red toddler sled (more on that in the next post). after trying it out in the store, she was very upset to have to get out so that we could buy it and take it home. it didn't help that it was very much nap time either. she was passed out before we could get home.

at daddy's request, we took him out for a bar-b-que dinner to celebrate his birthday. and madelyn ate her first cheeseburger (see picture). well, she took a few bites before eating just the bun and picking off the cheese to eat. she also ate daddy and my corn on the cops.

lastly, here is some video of her walking around in my snow shoes because she wanted to go out and play in the snow. it is so funny how she walks with one of them on backwards.


madelyn and i love daddy very much and feel very lucky to have helped to celebrate his big 3-0 birthday! love.

Whao -30! That's a big one! As Lorelai would say, 'Happy to you!'
(Matt). I love that Maddie WANTS to put on shoes, etc. to go out and play in the snow. That has to be a major help to you!
