...party day!

Madison's day of fun started off with a makeover at Libby Lu. That is a fun girly store located inside of Carson Pirie Scott. This was part of her birthday present from us and she had been looking forward to it for weeks! They paint your nails, put on a little eyeshadow and lip gloss, and do a fun hair makeover complete with fairy dust! She even got to pick out 5 things from the store as a gift.
Then we were off to Build a Bear which has become a birthday tradition for her. This year she picked the pink leopard and dressed her in a velvet black and pink cat suit. She wanted to name her Hannah Montana, but I talked her into naming her Miley which is Hannah Montana's real name instead.

This is the only picture I have of the two kids for the day. Austin spent the day with Nana and Papa while we took Madison to the mall, then later he went to his friend's house instead of the girls party.


Nana could hardly recognize Madison when she arrived to the party. Thanks mom and dad for all your help during the party... I couldn't have done it without you.



Madison doing one last mirror check before her friends start to arrive...

Once all of the girls arrived we started off by doing a picture frame craft. I took a picture of each girl with Madison and will be sending them as soon as they are printed to put in the frames.

Here is a group shot of all 10 girls.

After we all had some pizza it was time for Madison's favorite part of the night... opening her gifts. Gee... do you think she likes this one??

Thanks Sue for letting me borrow your cupcake display rack. It looked great!


Then we all headed back downstairs for some games and prizes!!

This is a Hannah Montana wig that Madison got from one of her friends. I still can't believe that my little girl is 7 years old. I think the birthday marathon is over now. Thanks to everyone for the cards, gifts, phone calls and visits to help make Madison's birthday extra special.

Love the hair makeover Madi! You must be a very loved and special girl for your mom to go to all the trouble of such a wonderful 7 year old birthday party. And I thought 3 year old parties were a pain to plan....looks like it only gets harder!

Wow! I can't wait to hear how you top that party next year! How about a limo ride to the American doll store? Just a suggestion. Ha! Ha! Looks like she had a great time. Hi Madi it's Mrs. Powell. Happy Birthday!
