Happy Birthday Madelyn!

Today is my firstborn's 6th birthday! Madelyn is a complete joy and is growing into such a genuine, compassionate young lady. She is beautiful, smart and really fun to be around. (I'm her mom, I'm allowed to brag!)
We celebrated last Friday with a couple friends. She really wanted a swimming party, so I limited it to two friends and Caroline. We swam for a while and then came to our house for cake and ice cream. It was laid back and perfect for her. She has been going to a church day camp all week so tonight she picked dinner (chicken pot pie), and we had cupcakes from a local bakery. She was so excited!
She got several fun gifts. We got her some L*ttlest P*t Shop sheets, some new "big girl" towels and a book she has been wanting about dogs. Caroline and Silas got her the movie "Hotel for Dogs." She is kind of in an animal phase right now. ; ) She got some cute new clothes and a gift card to Bu*ld a Be*ar from her cousins.
Happy Birthday Sweet Madelyn! We love you!

It was great to finally meet your daughters last weekend. They're so beautiful and seem to have grown so much just in seeing their pictures over the last year. Happy Birthday, Madelyn!
