the boys looked at all the presents under the tree with anticipation of what was to come...

Getting Ready for Christmas

Madden decided this year his tree needed to be beside the big tree so that it would make the big one prettier! :> He is doing a great job decorating!

He even picked out some bows to put on his tree this year and some new ornaments!

Madden added some new decorations: he spelled XMAS with tinker toys.

Birthday Bath

Madden had a special birthday bath on his birthday! He took his bath in the dark with glow sticks in the tub!! What fun!

Madden 6th Birthday Party

Ms. Tracy and Ms. Mary, the ladies who ran the party at Lowe's

Madden had his birthday party at Lowe's! Everyone got to make a fortune teller (think magic eight ball made out of wood) and they even got to keep their apron and got a badge for completing the task! He had a Mario Brothers theme and had a blast with his friends! Lots of friends came and were very kind with their gifts! It was a wonderful day!

SCARY Halloween sucker

Madden got this sucker in his trick-or-treat bag. It's a sucker with a SCARY face on the end! It's so big he can hardly fit it in his mouth and he hasn't touched it again since the day we took this picture but he looks so great I couldn't resist everyone else seeing him! :>

2nd Lost Tooth

Madden lost his 2nd tooth on Halloween morning! He was so excited to get the tooth necklace from school and add his name to the tooth chart in his classroom! His permanent tooth is already growing into the 1st space and this one is coming in as well! He won't have the space for too long!!

Trick-or-Treating with Neighbors

from left to right: friend of Emily "Kitty cat", Emily "Mad Hatter," Katelyn "Super Girl," Madden "Luigi," Landon "Captain America," and James "Storm Trooper" (I think)

It's me... Luigi!

The kids had a great time running around the neighborood gathering candy! They were a hoot!
