Easter Day

Well once again it looks like the Easter Bunny found us in Colorado! The Easter Bunny was VERY good to Madeline this year... bunny ears, books, a little Little Einsteins CD, bubbles,and a new teddy bear back pack! After finding all the surprises the Easter Bunny left for us we all sat down for a great breakfast. The rest of the day was spent sledding and just relaxing - Tomorrow we will head back to MN :-(
What a great Easter!!!

Colorado Easter Vacation - Day 3

After waking up this morning and spending some quality time with her new ducky
(THANK YOU UNCLE KEITH!) we headed into Breckenridge for some shopping. Madeline was a trooper going in and out of all the little shops. We even found a toy shop that had a play area in the back - Just what Madeline needed to get out a little of that built up energy.
After shopping we went back to the house to color Easter Eggs. Madeline used her crayons to color her egg and then helped Daddy put some sparkley paper on a few more :-) We can't wait for Easter morning!

Colorado Easter Vacation - Day 2

Yesterday we left Denver and headed for our rental house in Fairplay. We didn't get there until it was almost dark, but today we woke up to a beautiful mountain view! We soon discovered there were sleds and a great hill. Aunt Melanie and Grandma Judy took the opportunity to get Madeline outside for a while.
Here she goes... Oops - fell down... But kept going... Made it! Sooooo fun :-) The rest of the day was spent relaxing. The house was nice and there was definitely enough room for everyone - should be a fun couple of days!

Colorado Easter Vacation - Day 1

We got into Denver late last night and made it to Uncle Nick and Kate's apartment a little after midnight. After some catching up we all tried to get a little sleep, but were up early to go and get Aunt Alyssa from the airport. When we got back to the apartment Madeline was already up and loved all of the attention she was getting from having so many aunts and uncles around!
She settled right in with Godmother Alyssa. It looks like the 2 months it's been since she's seen Godmother (except in pictures) didn't phase her at all. It's going to be a great vacation :-)

Happy St. Patty's Day!

We didn't have any Saint Patrick's Day festivities planned this year, but decided it wouldn't be a good idea to stay cooped up in the apartment. So, we went to the Saint Louis Park Rec. Center for Open Tot Time. Madeline got dressed in her green pants and we were off. She found some new things to play with today...

A tricycle (no peddling on her own yet) And a fire truck! Always a good time :-)

That girl doesn't have any clothes on!!!

We haven't taken pictures of Madeline at bath time for quite a while, so we thought it was about time to capture her in action! Whenever she gets ready for the bath she takes the opportunity to run around the apartment without any clothes on - she thinks it's hilarious!!! When we finally catch her, into the bath she goes.
Most of her time is spent playing with her bath toys, but she likes dumping water on herself too :-) Eventually the soap comes out and she gets all cleaned up :-)
Time to dry off and get those PJ's on!!! Always an adventure :-)
