I say, "Madi's Birthday week" because it really seemed to last that long. As you may remember from a previous post, Madison's Birthday in Pictures, her Birthday was on Tues., February 23 and on that day Central Texas received an unheard of 4 to 5 inches of snow! So, she got pretty much a full day out of school and spent it playing in the snow. Fun! During the week she received calls, cards and presents from family and friends. On Friday night, she had three girlfriends from school come over to spend the night. I spent the afternoon on Friday making Madison's Birthday cake and once it was ready, we officially celebrated Madi's 12th Birthday! ***just a note: If you want to see the pictures better, you can click on the collages below and you should get to veiw them at a much bigger size. There were just too many pictures and I wanted to share them all, so it was much easier to make collages and post them this way.

The girls joked with Madi all week that they were going to get her play-doh as a gift. They did and for some reason, that was super-hilarious to them!

~Madi took all of these pictures. Including the one of her. On Saturday Jack and I took the girls to Austin's Park 'n Pizza in Austin, Texas. Let me just say, if you ever get the opportunity to go, DON'T. That place was a rip off! It was lame! My sister, Gennie, and my nephew Jason went with us. We all agree (including the girls) that the place wasn't worth the gas to get there and was definitely not worth the near $200.00 cost for the park itself!! So...huge disappointment there.
Even though the park was a disappointment, all in all Madison had a great time with her friends and a fun two days shared with them.
~The girls just before we took them home. Jack and I enjoyed these delightful young ladies very much! (Jack enjoyed driving them home very much!)We dropped the girls off at their houses around 8/8:30 on Saturday night and then went home to recover from a very active few days.
On Sunday Madi's Nana, Papa & Great Grandma came out to visit her and to wish her a happy Birthday.
They stayed for a few hours and agreed (somewhat apprehensively, I'm sure) to try Madi's homemade Birthday cake. They're either really good a faking it or they really enjoyed it.
So, Madi's Birthday week ended as Nana, Papa & Grandma Rowe walked out the door Sunday evening. Jack and I breathed a sigh of relief, but Madi could've kept it up for weeks more! Well, look at the bright side Madi, only 350 days and we'll all get to experience it all over again! Woohoo! Seriously though, it was tiring, sure, but it was nice to see Madi happy, hanging out with family and friends and being celebrated during her special time.
Well, that's a wrap, finally, on Madi's Birthday goodness. 350 days and counting! ;)
