Maddie's Birthday Party

I can't believe how much a girl can change from 10 to 11!


Gone is the little girl who had to have her bunny all the time and loved to play with dolls.


Now she loves makeup (which has actually been discovered on her preteen face only after leaving for church!). The hat was a gift from Yana, our babysitter. She made it herself and Maddie has not taken it off in weeks!


And art is EVERYTHING! She says that someday she will be a missionary who sings and takes care of Russian street dogs while living off the sales of her artwork. Quite a plan!


She wanted to take her friends ice skating at the new rink in our mall and Yana generously allowed herself to be pushed, pulled and hung on for the whole hour! And I think this was her first time!


Maddie got the hang of it right away. She may even want to add it to her future plans... somehow...


I hung out with the ones who's feet were too small for the ice skates.
