"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Friend Birthday Party for Maddy!!!

I don’t do friend birthday parties every year, they are just a lot of work!!! I decided that the kids could have friend parties on birthdays 5, 8, 12, and 16. So Maddy got her fun princess party at age 5 and this time we did a Hawaiian luau theme. It turned out to be a really fun party and I don’t think Maddy will ever forget it. My Mom was so nice to come and help me and Josh was also there for a few minutes before he had to go to work so that was nice because I needed all the help I could get. Maddy had 24 kids that she wanted to invite and I was trying to help her make her list smaller and she kept insisting on those 24 people. Josh and I agreed that if we only do friend parties every few years then we better let her make it a big party!! And it was a big party!!! We played games and ate dinner and cake and opened presents, so much fun. After everyone left Maddy told me thank you and she said it was her funnest birthday ever, that made it all worth it for me. Maddy has so many friends that love her and think she is so fun to be around. She has neighbor friends that look up to her and who are always asking her to help them with things because she is the oldest out of all of them. Maddy is just a fun fun little girl and we love her so much. Happy Birthday Maddy!!!
