Happy Birthday Maddy!

She is finally in the double digits! She was most excited about that I think! Here she is birthday morning with her new outfit and decorated door. She was so happy it was finally her birthday! And as you can tell she had already been wearing her new birthday outfit because you can see a little breakfast already on her shirt........oh well.

We aren't doing parties this year so I asked her what she would like to do for her birthday. She decided on a sleep over with her best friend Kelly. So we had yummy snacks and a good movie and she spent the afternoon playing away and then the night time playing away as well. She was so worried that I forgot to decorate her door that she said she peeked out early that morning and was so happy to see bows and balloons she closed the door quickly, went back to bed and didn't even notice the present on the ground outside her door. It was her new birthday outfit.

We decided to head over to Ag Fest for the day and luckily Kelly was able to join us. We had a fun day looking and petting farm animals, getting LOTS of little plants and trees to take home and lots and lots of walking around the fair grounds. And between trying to keep the two youngest ones happy I didn't manage to get many pictures! Ooops! If you notice in this picture though, Maddy found these old 3D glasses and decided to pop the lenses out and she LOVES them and wore them all day! She even wanted to wear them to church and school but I told her I didn't think that was a good idea.

Since it was my birthday as well Dustin granted me my one birthday wish, that I didn't have to cook or clean on my birthday. So we went out to dinner and I didn't lift a finger.....of course no one really lifted a finger either so I am kinda paying for it today but it was good to be in denial for one day. Maddy insisted that she shouldn't have to do chores on her birthday either so it was a trickle down effect! She stopped at Baskin Robbins to pick up her favorite Gold Medal Ribbon ice cream cake. I didn't even get any pictures of her presents or anything! It was a tragic picture taking birthday I guess.

She got her very own CD player for her room, a build-a-bear, some outfits for it, a frog habitat (and Dustin even found her a frog to put in it the next day), a new DS game that teaches her how to cook with lots of fun recipes, and a texting thinga majiger. She also lost a tooth on her birthday! Unfortunately as I type this I realize that the tooth fairy has still forgotten to come....and it's Monday! I am going to make another post about that!

Happy Birthday my first born! You are such a delightful young lady. I love to hear all your stories and hear the great things that come out of your mouth. You are growing up into such a lovely young woman. I love that we have started to be able to laugh at the same things. You crack me up! You are so smart and funny and kind and sweet I can't believe that you are mine. Love you birthday twin!
