Madison's 11th birthday party

I don't know how we got the idea or when it started but we have had Madison's party planned for quite a while. She wanted to do a scavenger hunt at the mall. I thought it would be ok but was a little nervous with doing it in December. We thought it would be fun to invite the moms so I would not have to stress about losing someone. We kept it small and she invited 5 of her good friends. We split up in into 3 groups of two. The scavenger hunt was a lot to fun. The girls really had a lot of fun. After the scavenger hunt we were off to The Cheesecake Factory for birthday cake. While we were waiting for our cheesecake the girls had some fun with our loot from the scavenger hunt. They thought it would be fun to try the lipstick sample. They had a lot of fun playing with it. Madison didn't want to be sung to but a birthday party wouldn't be the same without singing. She turned bright red and got embarrassed but it was worth it.

We really had a great night. It was one of the easiest birthday parties I have ever done for my kids but really a lot of fun. Madison has great bunch of friends and their moms are a lot of fun too.
