Bowling Theme Birthday Party

On Saturday, we had a small 11th birthday party for Miss M at our local bowling alley.  The girls bowled for an hour, then ate pizza, nachos, popcorn and birthday cupcakes for dessert.

 I ordered the party plates, cups and napkins from Birthday Direct.  All other items are from Dollar Tree or Dollar General.

 Favors...water bottles filled with socks and labeled with

Take Your Child to Work Day

Thursday was Take Your Child to Work Day, so Miss M spent the day with me in First Grade.  

 

Here she is with one of my fellow teacher's daughter.

 

Here are 3 of our first grade teacher's kiddos, too. 

 

This was on my computer at the end of the day.  LOL  Then we headed to dance before going home for the day!  It was a long day!

Happy Birthday Miss M!

 

Miss M celebrated her 9th birthday at school with her friends. Then had a party with her grandparents, godparents, uncles and friends.  Madison is a talkative, smart, talented, outgoing, God loving girl.  We are so blessed to be her parents! 

 

Miss M is a reader and is always happy to receive books for her birthday!

 



 

We had a mime, aka Cody, at our Paris party! 

 

 

My brother, Kim and the mime pose for a photo in their costumes.

 

 

 Just blew out the candles!

 

 

All dressed up! 

 

Her gift from H.

Her new comforter...

 



 

...and froggy!

 

A jewelry box from her grandparents, plus many more gifts.  M was very blessed! 

 

All M wanted for her 9th birthday, besides books and a new comforter, was to have her ears pierced.  We visited Piercing Pagoda today, and had them done!

 



 

She did very well and is in love with her new star earrings!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

First Reconciliation

 

 Miss M made her First Reconciliation today after 10:00 Mass and a Penance Service.

 

 

The children acted out the story of the son who left home, and then returned to his father, who welcomed him with open arms.  In this case, it was the daughter, who returned home.  Here, Miss M is replacing the daughter's hat with a crown. 

 

 

Then the children sang a song and demonstrated the sign language they've been learning in class.

 

 

 

Here she is waiting her turn to enter the confessional.  I'm so very proud of her!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Miss M!

Our sweet girl turns 7 today!  She is a sweet, caring, smart and loving girl and such a blessing to our family.  She is so excited about her luau themed party tonight that she was up at 6:20 am!  Miss M loves to read, play school and with her Barbies, and is into singing and dancing.  She is in her third year of dance classes and enjoys performing for an audience. (She is a ham!)  I love her giggle, when she smiles and the little love notes she gives me.  She loves to help in the kitchen when I'm cooking and baking, and enjoys helping her daddy with lawn work.  She loves us all fiercely, including her brother who often picks with her, and we are blessed to have her!  I love you Maddie!
