Madelyn's turns 5!

Madelyn turned 5 on September 11, 2013. We celebrated at home after school. She wanted her "favorite meal" - skillet fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn. She was the "student of the day at school". We celebrated with friends and Derek's parents a couple weeks later. She received gifts and cards and money in the mail for a couple weeks. Madelyn has a spunkiness about her that sometimes gets her in trouble, but only at home. Her smile and laugh are contagious. She loves to learn and help others. She loves music and singing, swinging and riding bikes. She loves to swim and be outside. She loves to read and dance. She is stubborn sometimes, just like her momma. ;) I'm so thankful for this little girl.
