Maddie Turned 7!!!

I can not believe we have a 7 year old!!!  These 7 years have flown by and Maddie has grown up so much in the past year.  She is doing great at school, reading up a storm, working hard in gymnastics, and has learned every book in the Bible in such a short period of time.  She is our determined child and stops at nothing to reach her goals.  She can have a little attitude at times, but is still our loveable little girl.  We decided it was time to scale back on birthday parties.  Now that we have added Harper to the family and money is just tighter, we told the kids we weren't having huge parties anymore.
  Maddie's favorite place is Chuck E Cheese and we let her invite a handful of friends to come and celebrate with her there.  Nonna brought Brayden and Sophia and Mimi, Boo Boo, Megs, Bubba, and Aubrey joined us as well.  The kids had a great time and we saved a ton of money by not inviting every single friend we have:)  After the party the family went to Steak and Shake for dinner.  Turner's last soccer game was that morning and Maddie had gymnastics before her party....it was a full day!  We gave Maddie a hula hoop and a gymnastics track suit.  She received lots of new books, crafty items, clothes, movies, and earrings from family and friends.  She is outgrowing toys-makes this momma sad.  I feel like I played with them forever:)  We had fun celebrating our Maddie Mo and look forward to what this next year will bring!
