We spiced things up this year with a pottery party for Madison's birthday.  

She was lucky that her birthday fell on a school holiday this year!  How cool!  We had the party at Quiggly's Clayhouse for a small group of her best friends.

Every kid got to choose their piece of pottery to paint.  Cami picked Ariel...

Jackson picked a baseball box and Lila chose a cute dolphin.

Friends from soccer and school were all there...

and everyone liked painting--we were all working so hard!

Ta da!  Madison and Maheera both painted the gumball machine.  Very cute.

They took us on a tour to see the kilns that will fire our masterpieces.
Everyone can't wait to see how they will turn out!

We lit the candle on her cookie cake and everyone sang Happy Birthday to our beautiful girl.

"Happy Birthday dear Madison, Happy Birthday to YOU!!!"

Nine friends to celebrate her 9th birthday--perfect!

Cheers to fun with family..

and with good friends, too.

Dinner with the fam followed that night and she got even more presents and dessert.

Madison Reese, we are so glad that you were born!
God created a one-of-a-kind superstar when he made you.
