Madalyn turned 13 on Friday!!!! She was SO suprised with a party given to her by two of her dear friends, Anna and Caroline. These sweet girls are from our homeschooling days and have stayed the best of friends with Madalyn and Kailee. Anna's mom called me the day before we left for China and said the girls wanted to throw Madi a suprise party and would I mind? Wow!!!! These girls sent out all the invitations to the girls in Madi's class at school, decorated, had games, the cake and came up with the theme..."Red Carpet Hollywood". Madi's classmates did an excellent job of not giving her any hints and she was SO suprised!! She was getting a bit irritated with us on Friday as we were not making a big deal of her b'day. I was continuing to use the "recovery from China' excuse and it worked. I wish I had a picture of her face when she walked in and all the girls jumped out in their hair and makeup yelling "SUPRISE!". You can still see it in her face in the picture above!!
Madalyn continues to bring us joy as she grows into the beautiful young woman that God intends her to be. She is always kind hearted, caring deeply about others feelings, wanting all her friends to know Jesus, working hard in school and taking such good care of her little brother. She will be an excellent mommy one day!!
It is hard to believe I now have two teenagers. Having Hudson in our lives reminds me just how quickly the time flies. How we must cherish our days with each of them!!!!
Thank you Anna and Caroline (and Jody and Jody's mom......you guys rock!!! Just to let you know what a cool friend Jody is, she was going to be out of town up until the time of the party. She emailed me earlier in the day and her flight had been cancelled and she wouldn't be in town until 10pm that night...she said...."party on". The party included a slumber party with Madi, Kailee, Anna, Caroline and Hannah, who is headed to China May 1st to get her brother. Jody's mom stood in until Jody got home,,,what friends!!).
