Maddy turns 10




Well September the 9th of every year brings us to Madeleines birthday! I can not believe that she is 10 and in grade 5! Where does the time go?? It doesn't seem like 10 years ago I was holding this brand new perfect 7 lb 3 onz bundle of bliss!


This year we had 7 girls come over afterschool for a PARTY. The girls played hot potato, unwrap the present game, listened to Miley Cyrus CD and played some outside games as well.


We had ordered a Dairy Queen cake from Prince George and "Yummy" it was a hit with all! Maddy received so many gifts; webkins, i-pod, i-pod docking station, games, Cd's and a pile of money (to which we are opening up a bank account for). All of the children left by around 5:30 with their Hello Kitty loot bags filled with girlie things and candy! By this time I am EXHAUSTED, Trent has heard enough screams and girlie shrieks, Peyton is crying because all her new found "friends are leaving" and Maddy is just plain overwhelmed!


Maddy received many phone calls throughout the day to wish her a Happy Birthday from family that loves her dearly but live far away-


Every year I say "No more birthday party's- next year maybe just a sleep over with a few girls" but when I take a minute and reflect on the entire day I can see her smile and the excitement of hosting the "party" and I think...OK maybe one more!
