What's all this? A party? Just for me?*
Oh, you guys! You really shouldn't have. I'm so happy I could squat!
And look at everyone who's here. It's my lovely and talented aunts!
Mommy, what is that? Why is there fire on it? Why is everyone singing? Why am I half-naked? Never mind, I don't care if I'm naked. Can I touch that?
Hmmm, I find this green and brown circle intriguing. It smells delightful...
Birthday cake rocks!
Step away from my cake. I am NOT sharing.
Everyone else seems to be enjoying their cake, too.
And then, like most good parties, there was an awkward and inappropriate make-out session in front of everyone. The whole school is going to be talking about this on Monday...
Then there were wagon rides!
I'm not sure what it says about our daughter, kissing one man at the party, and then catching a ride with someone completely different.
Oh, tissue paper! How rapturous!
I love football (and my new Reesing jersey from my uncle)!
#5, small but mighty
Oh, my head feels so much better without my pig-tails. I'm not sure why everyone's laughing, but I'm just going to go along with it. It can't be at me. I look fabulous!
Fabulous, indeed.

Jon and I would just like to take a moment to thank everyone who came to her party and most of all, our parents for all their help in getting ready, setting up, getting food, and cleaning. Maddie had a great time, and so did we. You guys are also rockstars! Thanks a million!

What great fun to join all the family in celebration of the Madster's birthday. Alaina & Jon, you are GREAT parents. You all saw Maddie's smiles, but Nana & Pa had even bigger smiles all day.
You, my dear, are most welcome. You are a far better parent than your parents, their parents, their parents... May you continue to live and learn in love and peace.
Love,
Guardian Angel
