Madeleine's 14 Facts for 14th Birthday!

Madeleine's 14th Birthday

#1 - You are and have always been very observant about everything around you - from your surroundings, people, situations, and feelings.
#2 - Your love of all things Disney!  You know all these random facts about the movies, which I love the way your face lights up watching a Disney show...it always has and most likely always will! :)
#3 - You are a beautiful and graceful dancer!  We're excited to see where you're dancing will continue to take you!
#4 - You are clean, organized, punctual, and the needed force to "clean between" everything in our home!
#5 - Your love and understanding of the scriptures!  Always study them and liken yourself to what you read!
#6 - You usually have a smile on your face :)...even if you don't want to smile.  You are cheerful!
#7 - You haven't really needed a lot of sleep - since you were a little baby!  
#8 - You have the best fashion sense!
#9 - You are BEAUTIFUL inside and out!
#10 - You are the MADELEINE that is a divine daughter of God and loved by so many.  You are Madeleine - daughter, sister, friend, granddaughter, cousin, and human extraordinaire!
#11 - You are a fantastic older sister!  You lead by example and have a deep love for your siblings.  Thank you!  
#12 - You have a sweet, feminine and solid knowledge of who you are.  You know you're practically perfect! :)
#13 - Sugar and spice and all that's nice - that's what you are made of!
#14 - You don't give up!  You work hard, hang on, and try your best.  And all that with the classic Maddie smile :)

You are our star!  We love you, who you are and what you stand for!

Love,
Mom
