It's a.....
For all of you who are not on Facebook I wanted to share that we are pregnant and having a BOY! We are so excited and of course Bob is thrilled to be having a boy. Maddie is excited to have a little baby brother. Our ultrasound went perfectly! After our ultrasound, which was in Hinsdale, Bob and I headed to the Baby Gap downtown Hinsdale and bought a couple onesies to wrap for my parents to open up and find out if it was a boy or a girl. It was such a perfect day and we are so excited to be adding another little person to our family! Here are a couple pictures of little baby boy! We have to pick out a name for this little guy:)

Funny things
Let me just say by saying this age is so fun. Challenging at times since she is very strong willed and independent, but I want to savor these special years. The other day she was walking up the stairs with my Mom and looked at our family picture. She proceeded to say, "Mama and Daddy are so cute. They are beautiful. No Dada's not beautiful he's handsome." I was laughing so hard when my mom told me this. She is so funny and comes out with the funniest things to say. Bob calls Maddie Sweetheart so she calls us Sweetheart. The other day she said hold on Sweetheart I have a present for you. She gave me a baby carrot made of out Play-Doh, which by the way is her favorite. Not so fun to clean up, but she loves it and that's all that matters:)
Maddie is loving school and is thriving in preschool. She loves her classmates, and enjoys all the singing, crafts, story time and playtime. She never stops talking and always has something funny to say, leaving Bob and I laughing hysterically. She is a total girl. She loves shoes, clothes, jewelry, and lipgloss. She likes to use the word gorgeous, and often tells people how gorgeous they are. Of course they love that:)! She's a hoot and we love her so much.
Here are a few random pictures....

Sledding!
On MLK day we went sledding with the Reinecke's. We love their friendship and love the friendship Maddie has with Georgia and Noah. Georgia and Maddie are the same age and just have a ball together! Jen and I met at MOPS over a year and a half ago. We happen to be the same age and both do hair! Such a blessing having such special friends.Here are some pictures:)

Maddie turns 3!!!!
It's so hard to believe Maddie is already 3 years old! We had a fun celebration with family. Maddie is obsessed with Toy Story,so she asked for a Toy Story party and that is what we gave her:) In fact she loves Toy Story so much we have to tell her a Toy Story bedtime story every night. Here are some pictures from her party.
One of Maddie's favorite thing to do is put lip gloss on her lips, so now she has her own play vanity in her room. She copies everything I do:)
This leopard pink paper is so Maddie:)
this was a really neat idea one of my good friends found on Pinterest. It's a $9 oil pan from the automotive section at Walmart which is magnetic and works fabulous for these little dolls. The only thing that wasn't magnetic were the wooden dolls which I just glued magnets to the back. Currently it's in her play room and we may eventually hang It in her room. Super good idea that I wanted to share!
Maddie having a chat with Jessie.
Jessie cupcake. Like I said, she is obsessed with Toy Story.
Going for the best part. The frosting of course! la la li bakery makes the most delicious cup cakes.">
her face was blue most of the day after this!
dancing and singing. Another thing you will find Maddie doing most of the day:) she is one outgoing social little butterfly!

Christmas Season!
I can't believe all the holidays are over! Now it's time to start a new year and be excited for what's in store for 2012! Here are some pictures of Christmas, New Years, and everything in between!
Christmas Eve service at church
Live nativity at church. Maddie loved all the animals!
Christmas Eve night
Maddie opening presents from Santa
Christmas Day at my parents
At our family Christmas we give white elephant gifts which never fails to give us all a good laugh! Aren't you jealous of these awesome gifts?? I mean who wouldn't be? There were many other super ugly ones, but these were the only ones I got pictures of.
Just to be clear this will not be hung anywhere in our house. Good one Mom!
Maddie ended up loving the ugly gift I received. She carried it around everywhere.
My grandpa was the lucky one to receive my flamingo.
And to the family members who hid their gifts around the house and in the pine trees, you better watch out because you may be next to have these ugly gifts show up in your yard! Game on!
.
Enjoying the beautiful December weather at my parents Christmas day.
She loved her new kitchen set from pottery barn from Nana and Bumpa
Barbie is helping her cook our morning eggs
Playing in the small amount of snow we had
We took Maddie skiing and she had such a blast. We stayed at the Grand Geneva for a night and thought it would be a perfect place to get Maddie on skis.
She did so well!
For NYE we went to the Brookfield Zoo lights with some friends. It was so beautiful with all the lights and we even got to see a lot of animals. Such a fun way to ring in the NEW YEAR!
