When I was little my Grandma Marjean used to take each one of us birthday shopping every year for our birthday. I remember it being one of the BEST parts of my birthday and looked forward to it all year. I loved picking out my present but dinner and one-on-one time with Grandma was the best part! About 4 years ago I decided to start the same tradition with my nieces & nephews once they were old enough. We went to dinner Friday night with Madi & her family and then her and Mckenna spent the night. Saturday we decided to do a project rather than the usual shopping. We decided to make aprons and the girls picked out there own fabrics & trims.
Since Madilyn has a VERY short attention span I ended up doing most of the work.
Mckenna did most of her own pinning, ironing and even quite a bit of her sewing.
Chevy was about as much help as Madi :)
They turned out really cute! Madi's is super girly and Mckenna's is totally funky.
We had a great time but I am always happy to return the kids to there parents :) It was an exhausting day and as we drove home Marq & I both agreed once again that we may never be ready for pre-teen girls!
Happy Birthday Madilyn!

What an exhausting day for you, but they are so cute that it was worth it! I was only there for a short while & I was exhausted when I got home :) LOL. I loved their aprons! Can't wait for our sewing project!!
