We celebrated Madison's 11th birthday this month with a plethora of activities. We redecorated her room as her gift this year. The full size furniture set that was my Grandma Watley's has been moved from our guest room into her room. She changed the color of her walls from a pale lavender to "aqua spray" and "brown tee pee"- two walls of each. We shopped at IKEA to get a new duvet cover, sheets, and other room accessories. After we had collected everything and we were actually getting ready to paint she asked "Will it take about an hour to paint?" We had to laugh at that one.
We also ate out at Azteca- her choice- and had them sing to her. She got a fun picture taken of herself wearing a huge sombrero which we accidentally left with our leftovers, so it got thrown away. I was leaning in to be in the picture too, so now Madison and I lamentably refer to it as our "long lost sombrero picture". She also had a slumber party with a few friends. At one point during the month Jeremy was questioning if the birthday festivities were ever going to end. But now they've become part of the tapestry of memories for her and hopefully it will remind her of how much we love her (our little Madison la la, boo boos, chicky, girlie).
