I love that Madeline has a summer birthday because we can have a good 'ol fashioned swim party or backyard BBQ! Since Madeline still has limited friends and limited understanding of her birthday, we decided to throw a two year old celebration complete with a grill out, cupcakes, ice cream, a few gifts, corn hole, and some adult beverages. (My how times have changed when we have a cooler full of Corona, wine, water, and juice boxes!)
Madeline had a wonderful birthday celebration...my parents, my brothers and their families, and some of our closest friends attended our backyard BBQ to honor Madeline's special day. One of Madeline's favorite things to do with other children is play "Ring Around the Rosy" ~ Emily happily obliged the birthday girl.
Madeline wasn't quite sure what to make of all the singing. Notice that she has a purse nearby. I'm serious when I say that this child loves purses!
Madeline's Daddy helped her blow out her candle.
Madeline enjoyed the frosting and sprinkles on her cupcake.
Of course, she had to show off her ability to use a spoon as she wolfed down ice cream with her cupcake.
Madeline received a gracious amount of gifts, and there seemed to be a common theme among them ~ dress up. Our family and friends know our little girl well.
Madeline got into the gift opening once she figured out how it all worked! 
Madeline took one look at these dress up shoes and immediately wanted to try them on.
Madeline loved her ironing board.
Madeline knew exactly what to do with her dress up jewels.

Madeline had a wonderful day, and she was one tuckered out little diva at the end of the night.
