Jeff brought home presents for Madeline's b'day from his mom and sister while he was in FL last weekend. 
She loves her new princess mirror that talks!
And t-shirts to color with markers that wash out so you can keep coloring after each wash.
We spent this weekend at my Aunt & Uncle's for Father's Day, and Madeline's actual birthday happened to fall during that time too. We had a great time visiting and catching up and boating.
Matthew's checking out what Uncle Bobby is up to. This was just prior to his first tantrum that Uncle Bobby saw.
What is Jeff thinking when he sees this! It looks like Matthew is running up the steep steps unsupervised but really he was going very slowly and I was on my way down to get him.
Aunt Melanie making a strawberry cake for Madeline's birthday.
Birthday Girl!
I thought this pic was sweet.
Madeline got to choose the breakfast since it was her birthday. She chose french toast and white powdered donuts! ha ha She ate on the special plate all day.
The hit of the weekend was all of Julie's old dance costumes that Aunt Melanie brought for Madeline. This one was on of her faves. 
Doesn't he look like he is loving the lake life???

Aunt Melanie has a new buddy!
Aunt Melanie's strawberry cake for Madeline- so pink and girly and delicious!
Madeline ate on the You Are Special Plate (the red one) all of Sat on her actual birthday.
Matthew tried canteloupe for the first time and he loved it! Finally we have the child eating some fruit- bananas, canteloupe and every now some blueberries.
blowing out the candles. Friday night she was excited to go to bed because that meant when she woke up she would be 7. =)
YUM!
Opening gifts.
What could be cooler than sunglasses from Julie!

Yes, that's Madeline driving the boat! She was so excited afterwards, took a little coaxing to get to her try it at first. Now she's asking how old she has to be before she gets her own car! (I told her to ask her Daddy since he got a car when he was in high school and I didn't). =)
