My Baby is 4

It was a busy weekend with family visiting, the Calgary trade show and the most important; Madison's birthday.
Saturday we had a little treat because she had some cousins in town who would be leaving later that day and not able to make her birthday party. She was thrilled to blow out candles and unwrap presents to her audience.

Today is Madison's birthday. She wasn't officially 4 until 6:30ish pm but we didn't tell her that. We had much bigger issues to deal with. It was snowing ... hard. So hard in fact that they closed down the highway from Lethbridge to Calgary so none of my family could make it to the party. Thankfully Ryan's mom made it up the day before so Madison had someone at her party. We made due with what we had and waited for the boys to get done at the Calgary trade show before we cut the cake. Since the boys got stuck in the snow coming up the driveway and had to dig themselves out it made for a late night but Madison is worth it.

Happy birthday Madison. We love you. I could not imagine what our lives would be like without you in them. Your animated face, dramatic reactions and constant chatter keep me laughing all day long. I love how you pray for Sage every night that she is safe even though she's been gone for 5 months and how when we mentioned the coyotes ate her you just stared at me blankly and refused to retain that piece of information. You are determined, you don't forget and you're fiercely independent. You are one special little girl.
