Madeleine is 10! Hard to believe my girl has hit the double digits! It's been 10 years of joy with this girl. She is kind and considerate, hard-working, a doer over a talker, funny, stylish and totally and completely her own girl. She is the glue the keeps her brothers together, and I think they would both agree they are lucky to have such a wonderful sister. She is an amazing girl, and we had so much fun celebrating a decade of Madeleine!
First up was to fulfil a promise we made long ago that she could get her ears pierced when she turned 10. She also wanted to have a family birthday dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. So we made a fun afternoon of it.
On the tube to get her ears pierced!
At the accessory shop in the hot-seat choosing her very first pair of earrings!
Ear one!
Ear two!
The BEST reaction ever!
Before . . . . and . . . . after!
Hanging in Leicester Square with her new jewels. It was a bit of a surreal moment for me here with her. We live in London. Not a new fact, but somehow this moment it struck me that my kids are growing up in London. Sometimes that fact takes me by surprise.

The actual birthday celebration at home with a cake I made myself. It was my first attempt at fondant icing, and as long as you don't look too closely it actually turned out pretty great!
Happy Birthday, Madeleine!
