Madison's Dora Cupcake Birthday in the Park Celebration

Just a little Thanksgiving fun...

Mommy and Daddy's Night Out...

Mommy and Daddy got all dressed up and went to a Family First dinner reception.

Mrs. Lauren Dungy & Mr. Tony Dungy were there and Mommy and Daddy got to met them.

Daddy was so happy when he got to meet former NFL Coach, Tony Dungy.

Mommy met Mr. Dungy too.

Mommy and Daddy were pleased to meet Mr. Stephen Kendrick, one of the men responsible for movies like Facing the Giants and Fireproof. Mommy and Daddy were all smiles.

Mommy and Daddy also met Mr. Max Lucado. Mommy says he is a very accomplished author. Wow, that's a BIG word for me.

Happy "1st" Birthday Ari (Madison's Cousin)

Today Madison attended her very first birthday party (for someone other than herself, of course). We drove to Sharon's house ( Gordon's sister) to join in all the fun. Today we celebrated Ari's first birthday. Ari is Gordon's sister's grandson. He is so cute (as you'll see for yourself). The theme was little yellow rubber duckies....so cute!

Madison's Weekend

Tonight we went to the church for Hallelujah Night. Madison dressed up as a ballerina (her choice). There where games and candy - Madison has never seen that much candy in her life! Madison saw and started to play with her cousin Melina, the next thing you know Melina is in the car with us on our way home. This was Madison's first sleepover. Madison and Melina are just too cute together. They are both 2 years old, although Madison is about seven months older than Melina. They have so much fun talking, laughing and playing together. Here are a few pictures I took tonight...so cute...enjoy!
