Maddie has successfully turned 12 and is right now being inducted into the Young Women's organization at church!! She is so happy about that. On her actual birthday was the Paterson Elementary Variety Show and the girls played Ashokan Farewell - you can see the video on my facebook page. No, they don't look very enthused; however, they really did go about this without resistance. This is the last show ever for the Smith girls. It was a great evening.
Afterwards, we came home and had cupcakes that a special friend had brought over. Some friends had come to the show and they came over for cupcakes and ice cream, so Maddie had a great night.
Today was Veteran's day and we were off from school. So we had Maddie's birthday party at the bowling alley. She was really thrilled to have this day come and have such good friends to play with. Her score wasn't as she had hoped, but the fun level was high!!
Here they all are!! These kids are all growing up. A few of these girls have been Maddie's friends since we moved here, coming to nearly every party she has had!!
I went to Winn Dixie to get the cake and the bakery ladies looked at each other. From the look on their faces, I inferred that they didn't have the cake. I was correct. It took them 40 minutes, but they were able to produce the cake Maddie had been dreaming of for months!! Why she is still so into SpongeBob, I don't know. She is growing into such a nice young lady and we sure appreciate her here in our home. She has given us many surprises, laughs, and insight at times and we love her dearly.
