Madelyn is 4!

Way back in February, we celebrated our baby girl's 4th birthday! It's so hard to believe that she is already 4. I'm not quite sure where the past 4 years went!

1st birthday party

2nd birthday party

3rd birthday party
My mom made the trip down over my birthday to celebrate with us.







Then on her actual birthday, she got to open her present from us!

Which finally got set up a month later...

 And we had pancakes with sprinkles and a candle at the birthday girl's request.

And then it was on to her Frozen birthday party!

I of course had lots of big plans for this party, but I settled on simple. And I'm so glad I did! The fatigue that has come along with this pregnancy was fierce during this time, so I didn't have the energy to do much!

We had a coloring station with Frozen coloring pages.

We had cupcakes, bottled water and cookies for the food and drink.


We had a cookie decorating station that turned out to be a big hit!


And fake snow for the kids to play in! (I used vegetable oil and corn starch, and it worked great)

We had a "pin the carrot nose on Olaf" game.

I felt bad using a blindfold on 3 and 4 year olds. I did "pin the tire on the tractor" game at Brody's 5th birthday party at Deanna Rose, and, I felt the same way, but I should have learned my lesson! We had a lot of peekers!

Then, we had a snowball fight! I think this was the biggest hit of the party! The kids had a blast and played for about 15 minutes! All I did was ball up tissue paper, and it was perfect!



I just love this picture of her blowing out her candles!

I made reindeer antlers and princess crowns for the kids to wear.


Opening the gifts was a little chaotic, but they all had fun!

And of course, we brought the bounce house. I had originally planned a 3 kid limit, but that was really hard to enforce. Luckily, nobody got hurt! 

I posted this picture to facebook after the party. With the caption "Did we celebrate her 4th birthday or 21st?" The girl had a good time! Luckily, one of her gifts was a new Anna dress! This one found it's way to the trash!
