The Birthday Girl

For Maddie's tenth birthday we came down to spend the night with Jon and Beth. Tiffany came over to babysit while Jon, Beth, Cathie and I went out for dinner. They'd gotten Maddie a cake with a trick candle, along with a Justice Shopping spree (which I suggested Jon go with Maddie).

For breakfast we went to the place with pancakes about the size of her head.

Ten things you might not know about Maddie:

1. She would rather have an inferior iPod nano than her iPod touch.
2. One of her best friends just moved to Germany (not to be a nazi).
3. She likes peanut butter cake.
4. She can do a round-off-double-back-handspring.
5. She would like to get her ears double pierced. The jury is still out on this.
6. Her uncle Jon has referred to her as "Cheeto Head". The name has stuck.
7. This is the first birthday in ten years she hasn't celebrated at home and woken up with a room full of balloons.
8. She wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up.
9. She has so many of her Mom's quirks and sayings that it's a bit scary at times (in a good way of course).
10. She has the best fashion sense of anyone in our family.
