Christmas 2010

On Christmas Eve we went to Mom and Dad's house. Madden had SO many presents to open and got so much great stuff. He had a great time opening presents, running into Mom and Dad's room, rolling around on the floor, and then coming back for more! What a hoot!

On Christmas Morning, Santa brought him everything he wanted and "things he didn't want." Then we went to visit Dolly and Granddaddy. Madden got to visit with Violet, "his most favorite baby." It was wonderful to see my cousins, visit with everyone and be together.

Bailey Manor Christmas Trees in Clinton, SC 2010

Madden and I went to Clinton, SC to see the Christmas tree display at Bailey Manor with Leanne and Sara Beth. We had so much fun walking around looking at the different trees, reading about them and then deciding which ones we liked the best!

Thanks Leanne and Sara Beth for having us!

Trying to get a Christmas Picture

Madden was posing on the porch and with the Santa from the Polar Express. He was laughing so hard that I was hardly able to get a picture that we liked for a Christmas card. Although we got a LOT of great pictures of him just being him!

Picture at Mom's House

Mom wanted a picture while Nick and Sophie were here for Madden's birthday weekend. So we climbed into Madden's treehouse and swings for a picture! Isn't that just precious?

Madden's 5th Birthday

I went to school to eat lunch with Madden on Friday, Nov 19th. He made Team Umizoomi cookies for his friends in his class.

On Saturday we exchanged presents at home. He got a new bike! And we played ALL day and had birthday dinner at Chic-fil-A.

On Sunday he had his birthday party at Anchor Lanes bowling. We had 12 friends come and he had so much fun!

Please note the Christmas tie! :>

Yo Gabba Gabba Live

Geeky took Madden and I to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live at the Township. We got DJ Lance Rock glasses, Madden picked out a Plex keychain and a lightup necklace! It was so much fun! They sang all the great songs, danced and balloons fell from the ceiling! And Biz Markee was there too!

Punkin Festival - Boone, October 22 - 24, 2010

We went to visit Nick & Sophie in Boone October 22-24. We went to the Punkin Festival in Valle Crucis, hiking and rock climbing and spending time with Nick & Sophie. It was so much fun! The weather was great and the visit was great. Madden looks up to his Uncle Nick and adores his Aunt Sophie. We had a great time! And can't wait to go back and try skiing!

P.S. Madden took the picture of Nick climbing. Didn't he do a good job?

Boo at the Zoo 2010

We went to Boo at the Zoo (Riverbanks) on October 16th. Madden is Popeye the Sailor Man this year. He was the only Popeye at the zoo so he was a hit! He had so much fun flexing his muscles for everyone and people were asking him where his spinach was. We had a blast!
