Happy Happy Birthday Maggie Dear!

To my dearest little Maggie Kate,

Wow, I can't believe you are 9 already, your last year to be in single digits! You have had a big year getting baptized, participating in Faith In God, and most importantly, going from being the baby of the family to being a big sister. I know at times it hasn't been easy to give up that spot, but you have handled it with grace. I love all the ways I have seen you grow this year. You are a little girl who definitely knows who she is and what she stands for. You are one of the sweetest little girls I know, and I am honored to be your mom! I love you bunches and bunches, my sweet!
