Sleepover

On Friday Maddie came home with me and we had a sleepover. My cousin and her friends were over as well. They gave us makeovers, we went swimming, played games, and watched movies. We pulled pranks on my cousin as well. ;p We ended up staying up untill five in the morning! We had a blast! I wish all my friends could have been there. :)

Happy Mother's Day

Today was Mother's Day. We woke up before my mom did, and we bought her breakfast and starbucks. When we got home she was still asleep, so we set up the table with the gifts and cards we got for her. She woke up right on time, a couple of minutes after we got home, and we wished her a "Happy Mother's Day." She was excited and thankful. After that, we went to my Aunt Crystal's house, and had a barbeque with the rest of my family. We ate and played the wii together and had a lot of fun. It was a fabulous day and I loved spending time with my family. Happy Mother's Day!
