Nine in 2009

Madelyn's 9th Birthday! Here, celebrated with friends (Azeria, Lily and Jalen) with feather fans~ say that five times fast! We had a birthday lunch with a couple of familes... here the group was singing to Madelyn before everyone decorated their own tiny bundt cake. Madelyn's finished cake!Later that night, we had Madelyn's friend Caroline sleep over. The girls changed to their jammies as soon as Caroline arrived, at four o'clock in the afternoon! Here they are making their dinner, little pizzas.
Later in the weekend we celebrated at our small group get-together... nine candles flaming on the rice krispie treat cake!
And now, nine days past her ninth birthday, we are still waiting for Madelyn's birthday gift to arrive. It has been stuck in customs in Shanghai since the day before her birthday. Madelyn has been (mostly) very patient. Not sure what the customs officers want with a doll...

I remember Scott requesting instructions on how to ensure the delivery of a girl when Halle was born. How can nine (nearly ten) years have passed since then? Happy birthday sweet Madelyn! ~ Tracy and company
