She sure enjoyed the Party! Can't believe she is 7 I love this sweet little lady. Lately she has really grown up. She is such a great help for me with Seth. I love watching her play and giggle with him, she truly is a little ray of sunshine in my life. My girl loves to DANCE and SING and play with her brothers and sisters. She is so caring and kind and makes friends easily, she loves all animals and BUGS! She has started loosing her teeth, and it is so fun to see that toothless grin. I LOVE YOU MADDI DAWN! I
