Madison's 8th Birthday

Maddie turned 8 on August 17th. However, we celebrated on August 1st because of the baby being due a week later. Her birthday was really fun also. She had a pink pajama, spa, tea party. She invited 10 of her friends. We set up a spa on our back patio. We had a facial station, where they got facials and sipped on strawberry smoothies. We had a manicure station, where they got hand scrubs and painted nails. Last, we had a pedicure station, where they soaked in foot baths and got painted toes. When everyone was pampered we went inside and put cukes on the eyes. Then they all sat down to a delightful tea party. We had a real china tea set, pink punch and all pink treats. It was so sweet and fun. Madison really felt special and it was really fun to do. I have to say all the credit goes to my good friend, Heather. She is so creative and had all the ideas. We also had 4 other people helping. Including my dad who was in charge of making and serving strawberry smoothies. What a trooper! Not an easy party, but so worth it.

That was such a fun night. All the girls looked so cute in their pink jammies. I love all the pictures especially the cucumber one! What a bunch of darling girls! This party was also a world of difference than what I'm use to at my house!!!
