Madelyn's "half birthday" 21-23rd June 2013.

 So, the time has flown and this little princess is 18 months old.

  

                             

A birthday on Christmas Day means that a party on her actual birthday is going to be a bit difficult to organise! So like the queen, Madelyn is going to have two birthdays. This was a mega lovely idea because we were able to buy outdoor things for her,knowing that she will be able to play with them now rather than having to wait months for warmer weather

It was a really brilliant weekend. On Saturday we went to Wickstead Park. 

       

     Faster daddy !!          

 Andy had a bit of a struggle ! Lots of playtime ,then off to feed the ducks

   

           

  Even Grandma took to the water!

      This lolly made an incredible mess.

 

But this was what happened when mummy took it away

                     

     After a lot more playtime we headed back home for presents and a BBQ.

The biggest hit of the day was her play house. She absolutely loved it.

                    

         In you come! 

Now ,if you are going to have a crafty drink make sure you're with your dad

           

                       What me?     

      

                                              Then cry when mummy says " no more"           

  

The morning after the night before. Sooo tired.

Reading with grandma. 

                                   

      Making sure the grandads don't fall over.

                 Hmmm, what's the pass code?

                      

What's this?

One and a half candles.

                                                                    It took a bit of practice.

                                           

   But she got there in the end.

                        

   

We ended a perfect weekend with a dinner at Red Hot, clearly enjoyed by the birthday girl.

                      

     Pudding, always the best bit.

From this ......

To this ........in the twinkling of an eye.

    

    Happy times.xx
