"Mom, my face is still the same but my number is bigger!"
Yes, sweet girl, your face is still the same but you are a whole year older!
Maddox, we went around the table and told our favorite Maddox stories at dinner....the number one thing we love about our girl is that you always have something funny to say! And the best part? Most of the time you don't even know you are as funny as you are!
You planned your special day. Four special guests. LOTS of make-up. A tea party. Dolls. Dress-up. More make-up. Nail painting. Cupcakes to decorate. Strawberries - you said we had to have something healthy:) And punch.
You pretended to be shy but we know you are full of life and spunk!
You told me all day not to worry because it would be a whole year before you were 7....
Six years old looks good on you baby girl. We have loved watching you grow this year. You have gone between loving being the big sister to wanting to be the baby again....what a big change you have adjusted to this last year with bringing Maryn home but you have handled it in stride.
And watching you succeed in swimming - we were so excited for you as you made your way across the pool each meet.
You have developed friendships this year that we hope will last a lifetime. Your sweet friends are the cream of the crop and we look forward to watching you grow together.
So sweet and silly all blended into perfection.
We have listened to your prayers and we love that your heart is for Jesus. We call you our little evangelist because when someone is in need of prayer, you are the one to call. Your words speak love and kindness tied up with a little sass and laughter....you are our well-rounded baby girl!
On your 6th birthday you requested to have your ears pierced. We agreed and up you went into the chair with your brave face on. Mommy had to snap one last picture sans earrings.
Though there was a bit of fear in your eyes, you were brave and not one tear was shed.
Instead, you were all smiles and excitement flowed through your body. You told everyone we encountered about your new look!
We surrounded you with love and gifts on this very special day but in reality, you are our gift.
We are so thankful for your life and we love celebrating you!
