Happy Birthday to my little Ms. Independent!

Fitting that you were born so

close to Independence Day!

From the time you spent in my tummy, to the moment I put you to bed last night--you have been quite the firecracker!

I love the spirit and enthusiasm that you put into every day life.

I love your self confidence.

I love how you dance and giggle and want to make others share in your joy.

Lately I love watching your mothering skills. You play and take care of your younger siblings so well. It is a huge help to me.

I love reading with you, and taking turns with the chapters. I love seeing your excitement as we pick up the book each night.

Maggie you are the best of both worlds--you are not afraid to jump in a get dirty and play with the boys, but you are still quite the girly girl with your adorable dresses that you run full speed in!

I am so lucky to be your mom-life would not be the same without you!
