Madison has been waiting to turn 8 for a long time. Because in our house when you turn 8 you are old enough to have a slumber party. After seeing her older sister have all the fun for the past 2 years it is now Madison's turn for fun. There were 7 girls that came to party, and 4 stayed the night. I think it was the first sleep over for all of them. They did great!
The girls painted some bobble heads and played Twister.
They got to decorate their own birthday cake with icing and fondant and were judged on their efforts. Some wanted to take their masterpieces home to show them off. Others did not really care and just wanted to eat them.
And of course there is all of the presents to open.
We had a sundae party instead. No one seemed to mind.
I don't know why she wanted a snake.
Madison finally got her own Nintendogs game. No more sharing with Morgan.

Before the baptism with dad.
Here is the after picture with the family.
And we can't forget Grandma and Grandpa!
I think the older you get, the smaller and less exciting your gifts get. Unless you were really looking forward to using that new paper shredder.
I made an Oreo ice cream cake for Dale. It looked great, but tasted horrible. I think I got a bad cake mix. The girls would not even eat it, they just licked the frosting off. Sorry Dale!
