When did my little girl get so big! After school she came home and had received some birthday money from Grandma & Grandpa and Oma & Opa. She knew exactly what she wanted buy with it. We drove to Build a Bear Workshop and she picked out a pony named Twilight Sparkle (from My Little Pony) and had it stuffed, brushed, named, and dressed.
Of course the pony needed to have a tutu and shoes! Ian also saw something that he desperately needed so he got a little dragon as well.
I thought she looked so cute with her box walking through the mall in her boots.
Next we came home and made her cake, she wanted it to be pink and purple.
Oops! The gold sprinkle lid was not on securely enough!
but mama fixed it! Good thing I had an extra container of frosting!
When dad and Rylan got home we went to Madelyn's favorite restaurant Portillos, then came home for presents and cake
She received a Easy Bake Oven and has been a baking up a storm!
Part of her birthday was a horseback ride that we did a couple weeks after her actual birthday. She was so excited she couldn't stop talking about it. Here she is waiting for her pony. . .
She got to ride on Dandelion, who was so sweet and calm for her. Madelyn had a girl walking next to her the whole time helping her direct the pony.
I was riding on Dixie who kept trying to sneak a snack while on our ride.
There were 6 other people on our trail ride through the Buffalo Woods Forest Preserve, it was so gorgeous.
Madelyn did so well, and is already talking about doing it again.
After our ride we got to have a tour of the stable and meet all the horses and ponies. They also had goats and llamas. Madelyn wanted to say goodbye to her buddy Dandelion before we left. I think she needs a pony of her own! Someday sweet girl!
