Maddie's 7th Birthday











Madison turned 7 on June 10th. She had a busy couple of days. She was pretty excited to take cupcakes for her treat to school.
And her birthday being on the last full day of school - there was a lot to celebrate.
Then the weekend after her birthday, we had her party at our house. It was a crazy weekend of party prep and cleaning.

Madison decided that she wanted an ocean party. We searched high and low for the greatest beach/ocean related finds.

Maddie got to invite a few friends, and she was lucky to have 3 little girls respond that they would be joining us in the celebrations. We had planned that the friends would come earlier, and then at suppertime the family would come by.

We painted suncatchers, and decorated flip flops. Then when Daddy went to pick up the submarine sandwich, the girls and I went across the street to fly kites. We got some great pictures of the group having fun.

When the family arrived, we ate, and then Auntie Sheri brought the bounce house over. It was almost like the carnival. Tickets please, lines and time limits.

Madison got a lot of nice gifts. New crocs, drawing papers, clothes, college money and a new dinosaur webkinz. The last of her friends left around 8:30, and the family stayed and had fun much later.

It was a great birthday.
