Maddi was sick Friday and Brett and I decided that we were going to postpone her party until the next day, Halloween. We told her when she woke up and she wasn't thrilled, but she understood, especially since she was still pretty weak when she woke up. She was reading her card with our ten favorite things about her.
A Snoopie Snow Cone machine! It's the exact same as when I was a kid.
Gifts from Omie. Maddi still had a fun day on her birthday even though she didn't have her party that day. We went to lunch at Texas Roadhouse (her choice) and spent some family time together.
Sunday was Halloween and Maddi's dog theme party. There were 4 girls who couldn't come because the day was changed, but it was still great fun. They started off with some time on the trampoline, but it was pretty chilly so they didn't last too long.
They came in and decorated a dog bone shaped placemat for their dog.
It was a good thing we moved her party back a day. She was feeling so much better!
Then they played "doggy, doggy where's your bone?" and freeze dance to "who let the dogs out" and "you ain't nothing but a hound dog".
What's a party without pizza and cookie cake? I had the cookie made and they did a little dog on it that looked like Cocoa. It was really cute!
So many candles!
Making her wish and blowing out the candles....
The Birthday girls brother and sister!
Maddi has been closing her eyes in so many pictures lately so Brett told her to hold them open big for this picture. I guess she opened her mouth big too.
Maddi wanted to have this dog themed party after reading an American Girl book about dogs. There was a pooch personality test in the book, and she wanted everyone to see what type of dog they are. Brett gave the girls the test while I got everything ready for the next activity.
Making pupcakes! Like most things, the cupcakes looked really cute in the book. They were a little challenging to make, but still pretty cute, and the girls had fun making them.
There were 4 different dogs that each girl made and then they took them home as a party favor along with a dog lipgloss and dog collar bracelet.
Maddi and Abby making more pupcakes.
Present time!
Maddi LOVED this cake bakery gift and she has asked almost daily if she can do it. Hopefully we'll have time soon.
Emalyn was enjoying the party too.
The whole crew at the party....
...and now with a silly face! It was a fun party and all of the girls were so sweet and well behaved. I know Maddi had a great time and that makes all the work worth it. We love you so much Maddi and we really hope you have a wonderful year as a ten year old!
