Madi turns two with Elmo

It's hard to believe, but Madi's second birthday was December 6. See how big she's getting, sitting with her Mom?

Little Sister is growing too, at least in the cheeks, LOL. Uncle Dave is having fun right now, about 10 seconds after this picture she spit up all over him. That was fun for the rest of us. (grin)

Madi's current "best friend" is Elmo, she loves him, and wanted an Elmo cake. OK, I can do that:

The cake was plain vanilla, but I made three layers and dyed them light pink, fuschia and purple, very colorful with the red and pink frosting, LOL.

I made some cupcakes too, they were chocolate. The Elmo decorations are children size rings, party favors from a local store, but they worked well, all the kids got to keep them after they ate the cupcakes.

The kids got lots of sugar, I got some practice on buttercream ruffles, and a good time was had by all!

Annie,

Looks Yummy! Especially the kids!

Poor Uncle David.

I'll take a chocolate cupcake for breakfast. Thank you.

Well, nothing redneck about this party celebration! Madi sure has grown. Two! How did that happen. What a lucky girl to have a grandmother who can whip up a cake like that one. It's a masterpiece.

PS, I'd throw up on that orange Cabela's shirt, too. ;)

One of my Star of Siam seed pods has rotted. I'm not sure what happened but after it was cracked I pried it open and the second I saw white wormies (kind of look like maggots) I freaked out and tossed the whole thing in the trash! I'm still freaked out now. I have another seed pod growing on there but I am not sure how to ensure that it doesn't happen again! That was sooo GROSS! I need to get the image out of my head or I'll toss my dinner!

Elmo is missing :-(

Country, we got him fixed "just as he was about to learn to spray"... aka within 2 weeks of him showing up at our house at about 9 months old. I feel sure he was snooping around the house and the dog next door or a car spooked him. Ceaser is a big, black lab with a menacing bark but very lovable. Of course, Elmo just sees a a slobbering mass coming at him. I just got off the phone with the local paper and they are putting an ad with his picture in the paper for a week. When I leave work I am headed to the humane society and pound with flyers. And will stop by the vets int he area- thank goodness there are only about 5-6 vets in Clarksburg/Bridgeport. Still waiting on a call from the city dog catcher to see if he will keep an eye out for him. I hate to think about it but I am trying to figure out who is in charge of animals that lose the battle with cars. I have only lost one cat and that was Christmas 1998 or so. She was an indoor/outdoor cat and lost a fight with a pair of dogs that had gotten out of their fence. My dad and brother found her about a week later. I vowed to have indoor cats when I moved out on my own.

Madi's Birthday Cake
Q

Well, the party was today, and Madison was one happy little whirling dervish, and her sister just ate cookies and was happy too. We also had ham sandwiches, salsa and chips, some fruit snacks and white chocolate covered pretzels. The cake was all eaten and the doll was dressed and appropriately welcomed into the "family". Sharon, I can't believe she's three either, and the Littlest Sister is a year old. She learned a new word today. "Olaf". That's the snowman from the movie, LOL, and she loves him. Madison was a good big sister and let Little Sis play with her presents too. Just wait. Before you know it you'll be all snuggled up with a grandchild, eating cookies and watching movies about Princesses or Pirates. You'll be amazing at it too, I know.

How sweet! :) I think this looks so cute and soft: https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-carved-polka-dot-shag/Ivory/200OZOT02A-2808.html?srcid=GSN&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIntSNhKrA9AIVdxPUAR1ftgmiEAQYAyABEgJCmvD_BwE The fun colors work without being too busy, I think: Of course any solid color would work, too, either neutral or more bold. https://rugs.com/yellow-9x12-marrakesh-shag-area-rug-6288714?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsu_6lazA9AIVtxTUAR2p7woEEAQYAyABEgKAG_D_BwE

TWO??? Madi is two? Oh my, when did that happen? She's a doll as is her little sis! Our DD had big cheeks too and we nicknamed her "Winston(Churchill)". She went on to be petite!
Elmo was the first or second cake for our grands too. They all love him and you've done a lovely rendition. Our first cake looked truly monsterous! LOL

What, no pictures of her eating her Elmo cake? That's the best part and I bet she looks great in pink and red.

Happy birthday cutie.

Elmo is over 40 yo, and is still cute.

Looks like Madi will be still cute when she reaches 40.
