Birthday Dinner
We started celebrating the night before with a dinner out at Pizza Factory. We got to bring Annie along for the fun and we're lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa join us too. Madi loved having her very own 4 year old pizza!
We all enjoyed a fun night and delicious pizza and bread twists. (The kids love PF bread twists, as do I.) Birthday Muffin
Birthday muffins are a tradition at our house, established because of the love my kids have for Costco muffins. I love how exciting birthday mornings are...and how easy! (Thank you Costco bakery.)
Party Time
Pinata. check. Cake. check. Goody bags. check. All ready to go...
...well almost. The Birthday Girl wasn't quite ready. All the anticipation just wore her right out. She decided she needed a little nap before the party started.
I could not believe she fell asleep like this! She had a nice big dent in her cheek when I woke her up! 
It was so fun for Madi to have all of her friends over for a party. They were all so cute and sweet. They had fun playing our little game where they all got a lovely noise maker to choose. (Sorry about that Moms, what can I say, it was a hit.) 
Madi really got spoiled by all of her friends, she was so delighted with so many fun presents! 
Pinata Time
The pinata has become the highlight of my kids birthday parties. They love it! Who wouldn't love to whack a bag with a bat and then gather up hand fulls of candy?
Cake Time
Madi loved her "Hello Kitty" cake. I found these cute little dancing figurines to decorate it with and she loved them!
We almost got a shot of the whole group, here is most of the gang- Olivia, Kiley, Chandler, Ava, Madi, Pierce, Annie, Ella, Seb, Jona. It was so cute to have them all sitting up here together. We are missing cute Evey and Lily who were too busy to be in the shot.
Madi had such a fun "friend party"! It really was so cute. She loved every minute of it, and I did too. We are so lucky to have so many great friends! 
After the "friend party" we had a quick dinner and got ready for the "cousin party". We had our Hall and Eves cousins, along with Grandma and Grandpa, over for cake and ice cream. She loved opening more presents and especially loved her new collection of Barbie dresses from Brother and a new bike from Mom and Dad!
What a day this Birthday Girl had! We all had so much fun celebrating Madi. I love my kids' birthdays, pure joy.

Glad she had such a fun day. Chandler had a blast at the party and LOVES that lovely noise maker ;) Chandler will love having Madi go on 'bike rides' with him. She is such a sweet, fun friend!
Soo cute! Too bad we don't live closer. My Kyler just turned 4 too. I think they would have a blast. Cute party.

Cute, cute Madi! Sure love that sweet girl! I'm so happy she had such a fun celebration. I loved how excited she was and how she enjoyed her party so much. Great work at making it such a special day for her! Thanks for including Lily - she was delighted to come to the "happy bir-day"!
Madi is just adorable. Way to go on making her feel special. Thank you SO much for inviting my girls. You were especially sweet to let Evey tag along. I know she was so excited to go to "Josie's" house! Happy Birthday Madi!
Happy Birthday, cutie! What a fun pizza! Did you have to ask them to make that special or did they suggest it? That is great! Hello Kitty rocks!

Happy B-Day Madi! So crazy she is 4 already!! Looks like her part was a hit, way to go Mom!! She looks adorable in her boots and skirt too.. :0)
Josie, I can't get over that priceless picture of sleeping Madi. She must have been exhausted to fall asleep in that position. You know I am you in awe of your crafty pinatas, right? You are just so great. So glad her day was so happy!
