Madison broke her arm the sunday before thanksgiving (23rd). Skyler and her were at the table doing a craft that sunday night, Madison was standing on the kitchen chair and fell (we have one of those high tables which has definitely been a huge mistake from the beginning... this isn't the first time one of them has fallen...just haven't hurt themselves like this). We ended up in the emergency room that night and took her in to an orthopedic surgeon the next day thinking we were just going to put a cast on her. The doctor informed us that she needed to have surgery because she bent the bone instead of broke it. Her bones are still so soft because she is so little...so the doctor wanted to bend the bone back to make sure it would heal straight. So, that same day we took Madison into the hospital where they put her to sleep and the doctor had her arm under an x-ray and bent the bone into place. She had a splint on for a week in case it swelled at all and then she got her pretty pink cast with sparkles! 
Here is Madison waiting for surgery... she got a doggy which she had fun putting stickers all over it.
She got to go on a ride in a wagon when she got restless waiting...you know how hospitals and doctors offices are...it takes forever. She did really good though.
She got her pretty pink cast on this wednesday... yes with sparkles on it. As you can see she is still as happy as can be...and as active as usual. (thank you Lance and Aimme for the dress-up clothes and jeans...my girls love it!)

wow, sparkles how fun is that! she looks so cute! sorry she had to go through that all though :(
I'm so sorry you all had to go through that! Helena broke her arm awhile back but luckily no surgery! I think its harder on the parents than the kid with the broken arm! Hope she recovers well! :)
She is so cute!!! I love that little smile she has. Pretty cool sparkly cast. Tanner broke his arm a few years ago but luckily that has been our only broken bone so far, I am sure it won't be our last. Anyway cute pictures and we are glad she is ok. We had fun seeing you all over the holiday.
