October's are always my favorite. The air is getting colder, the leaves are changing colors, I can wear my scarves, and my favorite time of the year is right around the corner. In our family we have so many things to celebrate in October. It's my mom's birthday, my birthday, and Madelyn's birthday.
To start off the celebrations my mom and I celebrated together on her birthday. In our family we have the tradition of choosing the meal and desert for our birthday. I choose to have one of my favorite deserts, pumpkin pie and homemade whipped cream. There is nothing better to me than my mom's yummy pie! I could seriously eat a whole pie by myself (and I may have done it before). Everyone insisted that I put 26 candles on it. I was a little afraid of how many were on there.
Then on my actual birthday Landon first surprised me with a beautiful boquet of flowers. Then he surprised me and took me on a date. We went out to eat and then went to see a movie. We have really bad luck at being right on time for a movie and it being sold out so we wanted to make sure that we were able to get tickets. We got there about 30 min early and bought our tickets to Pan. We choose to see it in 3D so they gave us our glasses. While we waited we played the arcade games. I love to spend time with Landon and it really turned out to be a great birthday with him.
Madelyn's 2nd birthday was so much fun. We rented out the Clubhouse room at our complex so that we would have enough room for both of our families and our friends to come. I decided to make Maddy a teepee for her birthday. It was so worth all the miscalcuations that I made and had to fix to see her play in it. It is such a fun addition to her room. I also made her birthday shirt that she wore. It summed up her personality perfectly. It said "sweet & sassy".
Maddy loved her birthday and was showing off so much. She was dancing and playing and in the best mood. I loved simply celebrating her with all the people that love her so much.
Her favorite presents included her "Ana" (she can't say Elsa so she calls her Ana) pajamas, her Frozen "ride" from Aunt Missy, and her baby and her baby's bottle from Grandma Young. She is so animated and loves to take care of her baby.
I'm always sad when October is over but I guess we are all just another year older and wiser.
