Madiysn's 10 Year Birthday Party

We had Madisyn's 10 year birthday party at Northcross Lanes in Huntersville. It was a really good party. All the girls had a great time. I especially enjoyed the party because our host, Doug, did all the work. I was able to enjoy the party and take lots of pictures and video. It was great watching the girls bowl and encourage each other. It was really cute to watch each girl try to perfect their form while they were there. Madisyn did a great job of trying to help all the girls.

Michael even had a great time watching and making sure the electronic scoreboard was working.

My mom and I were impressed with Kayla Dahl. It was evident she had bowled before. Her score was a 98! We were also getting the fever and wanted to go out there and join the girls in a game or two. We used to bowl in a league in OH, so to see the girls bowling gave us that itch to get out there and do some bowling ourselves!

Poor Zada dropped the ball behind her once, but I confessed that I have done that myself before. But she picked up the ball and tried again. What a trooper!

Once again my mom did a great job at the cake. It is our tradition every year to have my mom make the birthday cakes. Saves me a ton of money! Several of the moms in the bowling alley kept admiring the cake and asking where I got my cake done. I proudly answered, "my mom made it". Even Doug our host said she should open her own cake decorating business. I agree! She just gets better and better every year.

Madisyn was so excited about her presents. She was really surprised at getting Heeley's. She actually was saving her chore money to get some, but we surprised her. She had no idea she was getting them.



What a bunch of adorable girls, wouldn't you say?! I think the party was a "strike"-ing success!
