Maddy's 9th Birthday

Maddy decided to have an arts and crafts party this year.

She couldn't wait to open presents when she woke up.

She loved her art sets from Grandma.

She invited some girls from church to her party.  They decorated scriptures bags and made necklaces.  They also had fun jumping on the tramp.

Maddy was excited to have Grandma and Grandpa Collett come into town on her birthday.

We are thankful for our sweet Madeline.  She is smart, talented, and funny.  She is very driven, and she is always the first one done with her homeschool tasks and asking for chores to earn more money.   She knows how to work and play hard.  We love having her in our family.
