Look Who's Nine!


Can you believe our little Maddie is nine years old?  She has turned out to be such a creative, kind, and energetic girl!

We have had a busy few days around here celebrating the big event. On Thursday evening, we headed to the pool with Grandma Connie for swimming and a birthday dinner delivered. Friday evening, we took a trip to Toys R Us to spend some birthday money, and later Kent took Maddie out to see a movie, The Avengers.  The two of them had a great time! And Saturday, was the big event . . . her party which included a gathering of family and a few friends.  Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate her special day, those who were near and those who were far.


In keeping with her new tradition, Madeline opted to decorate her own birthday cake, and she wanted a snake cake. We were able to make one using two bundt cakes.



Just about half way . . .

Wow!! Still can't believe my baby is nine!!





It is hard to believe that in nine more years this little one will be officially grown up. Luckily, she wants to live at home forever and attend college just around the corner. Such a relief to know she will always be under my roof.   ;)   Happy Birthday, Madeline!
