The Day to Celebrate...

Today we celebrated Maddie's 5th Birthday. But as she carefully pointed out several times, "It's not my real birthday, just the day to celebrate!" It was beyond fun! We went bowling and then had pizza, snacks and cake. Maddie requested a Mother Gothel cake and her wish was granted (thanks Mom and Dad!). She had lots of fun spending time with family and friends. She was especially excited to hand out the gift bags (they had some bubbles, a little pot, some dirt and some sunflower seeds) which she had carefully prepared. I  am so happy to see her enjoy it all. And it is beyond bitter sweet to celebrate this special day! My little girl just keeps growing and growing...

And off she goes!

 To start many new adventures and to learn all sorts of new things...
