The Pea Pod gets an iPod

Remember how it is Madilyn's birthday? Well, there is only one thing that has been on her "list" - an iPod. She wanted one for Christmas, but Santa, well, he didn't come through for her.

Good thing she can always depend on her parents and grandparents!

I was lucky enough to capture the look of actual surprise on her face as she opened the gift to reveal the long-time coveted iPod




Next, I was tackled by a huge bear hug and showered with "Thank you, thank you, thank you"s.

And to share her excitement with all of you, here is her very first video she recorded on the nifty little thing



And not to toot my horn, but I made some dang fine cupcakes for her class at school.


They were so good that I had to come home and make another batch because them dang kids ate them all!

Happy birthday Madilyn! Hope your 11th was a memorable one.

Oh, but don't worry. The celebration is not over. Stay tuned later in the week to find out how we will wrap up this birthday week!
