Happy Birthday, Madison!

Guess who turned six years old today?  Daddy asked her last night, how old are you?

She replied, "I'm five."

"How old are you tomorrow?"

"Six!"

"How old the next day?"

"Seven!"

At which point I informed her by next week, she'll be a teenager.  Still, that seems to be the way time has flown by lately.  Look at this blog, for example.  It doesn't seem like too long ago that it was started, and yet here we are almost three years later on it alone!

Madison opened her presents this morning - those she got from Mommy and Daddy.  And... that's the last we saw of her!  Seriously, one present - an Explorer game based on the upcoming movie "Brave" - kept her busy the entire day.  This was by design, as we had plenty to do to plan for her birthday party tomorrow.  Mommy did most of this work as Daddy went to church to plan for the weekend's service.  Work goes on - but tomorrow, we'll take a HUGE break to have a party.

Tonight before bedtime, Madison and Daddy played Lego Star Wars - the original version.  She hasn't seen that one yet, and the two of us played for about an hour.  She giggled all the way through, as Daddy realized she's pretty much played nothing but games all day long.  Still, could you imagine a better birthday?

Tomorrow will be great - the party will be so nice for Madison.  Mommy stayed up until 2:00 am working on food items and ideas to get it just right.  We'll need another break after this one!
