Thursday August 29

Oh my goodness!!!!
What a crazy day!
Happy #12 birthday to our sweet Madi Bell!
I can't believe she is actually 12!
We got up this morning and had breakfast....
She requested Bran muffins :)
She opened her gifts.
Slippers from her siblings, some sweet glass dolls, and money for an alarm clock from Emmy.
And a cell phone from Mom and Dad.
We actually hated getting it for her.
But....it sure will make life a little easier.
Dad called the phone as she was opening the present....pretty good surprise!
After some playing with the phone, it was time to leave for school.
Then I got the other two ready for school and headed out.
Elsie was pretty tired.
I thought for sure it would be a bad day today....she was up at 5.
But it sounded like it was a good day!
When I got back after dropping them off at school, we got right to work.
The plan was to give Madi's bedroom and surprise makeover.
She had no idea.
We did it all in 5 1/2 hours.
It isn't totally finished......but we got it done good enough for her to walk in to a brand new bedroom :)
It was a lot of fun....but it was a crazy day.
After all the kids got home from school, and Dad and I got showered, we headed to Chili's for Madi's favorite dinner.
Ribs.
Yum :)
And after some errands, we came home with a Banana cream pie, also her favorite.
Stuck some cameras in there and we were ready for a round of "Happy Birthday".
It was a great day, and Madi couldn't be more happy.
I think it was a memorable day for her :)
We love you so much Bell.
