Baptism

Isn't she gorgeous?Of course I forgot my camera and had to take these snapshots after we got home:(
It was a really nice day. The stake.....(i dont know)baptism lady....gave her a dress to put on(rather than the jumpsuit). She was the cutest thing I have ever seen. It was simple, of course but tied in the back to fit and went all the way down the the floor. So much more flattering! I loved it, and wished a had a picture of her and her dad together. But no, once again I am an idiot!
Anywho, thanks to all those that came to support her. And to those that "did stuff" at the baptism. You know who you are:) We love Madelynn. Thank you for loving her too!

Madelynn turned 8!

The dinner. Rib City. That is where she wanted to go. What can I say? The girl loves her ribs:)
The cake. Madelynn wanted a turtle cake this year. Well, this is what I came up with. Not really what she had in mind. But I think she really liked the way it turned out. Brian and I molded the turtles out of laffy taffys and tootsie rolls:)
Glitter toes! I checked the girls out early at took them to the Pink Parlour on State in A.F. The said they felt like queens up in the tall chairs. They loved it!
The ear piercing! Scarred and excited. She never backed down. It hurt a little more than she expected. But it was over very quickly, and within a few minutes she was fine and said they didnt hurt at all anymore.It was a good day. We did alot of shopping and wandering around the mall: Claires, Justice, Barnes and Noble.
It was the year of the stuffed animal for Madelynn this time around. That is all she wanted. She ended up with 6 new stuffed animals! Don't ask why. I have no idea why we have to keep adding to the pile:(
