somebody will be nine years old tomorrow. nine. wow.
so, today she had a lunch party with two good girl friends.
they sipped blood orange soda from washed coffee jars, ate cream cheese mints that maddie made yesterday (with raspberry flavoring and two drops of blue food coloring and four drops of red), and made lip gloss with clear petroleum jelly and strawberry koolaid powder (it smells yummy, and gently tints the lips - so pretty!).
they giggled. they played. they listened to music. they danced. they set up a doll house. they drew. they enjoyed their lunch. they simply enjoyed each others' company. what a fun day-before the birthday.
