Madalynn is still buzzing about her birthday. She was truly blessed by friends, family, phone calls and gifts. Enjoying the day with her was a blessing for Travis and I.
Madalynn had a blast with her friend Lilly. She and Lilly wore matching Hannah Montana shirts Saturday and wore their hair in french-braided pigtails. You would not BELIEVE how many people asked if the girls were twins. Hand-in-hand they walked around, inseparable. They both got bonnets at the Civil War reenactment. They got a lot of talking time in the car to and from the reenactment and enjoyed playing American Idol in the van. They wanted me to sing so they could judge me. Lilly was Simon and Madalynn was Paula. They are tough judges!
Madalynn got fun gifts, too! She got a Hannah Montana blanket, "diva" pants, Amelia Bedelia books, a Hannah Montana purse and outfit, a fancy pink dress, a CD and a special "Daddy's little princess" precious moment figuring from Travis.
One of the most touching times of the day is when Madalynn read each birthday car from front to back with help with only a few words. We did not prompt her, she just opened the cards and read them. She began reading the first card and everyone (surprised) got quiet as she read. She smiled after reading every note and each gift was even more special to her after reading the personal notes from the gifters!
We all hit the pillow hard last night, especially Madalynn and Lilly! Lilly stayed with us again last night and we took her to church today before dropping her back off at home.
What a birthday weekend!
