It's Great to Be Eight

Maddy has reached that special age of 8, when she was finally able to be baptized. She had such a fun weekend. Party, party, party around here!

There was the friend party (little girls LOVE to squeal, scream, and make lots of noise in general, you know!)



Then there was the baptism. What a little darling she is!


(Aren't family pictures fun?!)


And then there was party number 2 with family and friends after the baptism, complete with a deluxe cake definitely NOT made by me! A friend of Brek's offered to make a cake for Maddy, and we were absolutely amazed when we saw it! Much cuter than the Costco cake I planned to buy.


It was a very fun weekend, and I was completely exhausted by the time it was over! But, hey, how often do you turn 8, right?



We sure love our little Maddy and her delightful way of looking at life. One word comes to mind when I think of Maddy. JOY!
