Lindsey had her 8th birthday party at the skating rink again. She had her 6th birthday party there. All the kids had a blast and Lindsey has turned into a pretty good skater!

Lindsey chose to have a Madagascar cake this year for her birthday.

Lindsey Opens The Presents

Lindsey got a lot of cool presents. She is into "boy" things this year. Transformers and Power Rangers. But her favorite thing was what we got her, along with my parents and Laurie's parents... a Wii. I think her face says it all when she opened it. She said, "Where did you get this?" I guess she thought they were rare or something! It was cute.
