Last year of single digits

[Warning- this is a long post! If you make it all the way to the bottom, leave a comment so we know you celebrated with us!!]



Where have the years gone?

We've had a great week celebrating Madelyn turning 9. Sunday we went for pedicures with Mama Jenn and started working on decorations.

1st Pedicure

 Monday we celebrated at Girl Scouts with Aahna, whose birthday was the 14.

Wednesday I took cookies to school and the class started by singing Happy Birthday and eating cookies!

Then Wednesday night, we went to see Smurfs: The Lost Village with Ali and Lori.

Friday night was her annual birthday sleep over. We had it the night before her party this year since the day after was Easter. I probably won't do that again since they didn't want to sleep! They did their own "Zombie" make up. One more joined us before the night was out.

Saturday was the big day! We woke up and had "World famous" pancakes.

Then the girls went with Melissa to a Easter egg hunt and I headed to Jenn's to decorate.

When you don't like cake.....

We ended the night dying Easter eggs. I didn't get any pictures of that but got MK posing.

We continued the party on Sunday celebrating Easter. The Easter bunny made several stops for MK this year.
