Maddie is THIRTEEN!

Look at this lover of a face...
this is at age ONE

and this is one month ago, just prior to turning
THIRTEEN!

We decorate (always, and especially Maddie, she loves to decorate for all parties, birthdays, etc)
Since her room is red (all walls) with zebra accents, we decorated accordingly :)
We made mini-burgers, had Maddie's favorite pasta (box of Suddenly Salad; it's surprisingly delicious--and I'm not a boxed-food kind of gal) and crinkly fries.
The girls also had make-overs by my friend, Barbi, who is a MaryKay lady:
there was lots of giggling and fun during the make-up session...

These are the cute friends we took to Cheesecake Factory
for birthday dessert

 Yea for Maddie!!!! We love her enthusiasm, her crazy sense-of-humor (tickling/tackling her dad to death, and scaring him every night by hiding in some dark corner), her spiritual focus and strength, her laugh, her singing/acting/dancing, and her love. She is affectionate, warm, cuddly, fun, and sweet. We love this teenager and are so blessed to have her in our life!!!
