Maddie's friends

For a 19 month old, Maddie is pretty young to have a boyfriend. But, she is so excited when she sees her little friend. She squeels, bounces up and down, and gets a burst of excitement that I can never get from her! These are a couple of pictures of them holding hands at the Palo Alto zoo.

My friend threw a pirate themed birthday party for her 4 year old, and it was so much fun. They walked the plank, went on treasure hunts, pinned the gold tooths on a pirates mouth, ate pizza and cake, opened presents... it was a lot of fun.

This is Maddie with her pulled together pirate outfit (ignore the pink shoes!?) She didn't really know what to do with the hook...

This is her little friend who is 1 month older than her. They have a lot of fun together.

This was the birthday girl in the background-- but the cake was amazing. My friend made this from scratch-- she puts "Ace of Cakes" to shame.
