Maddi had lots of fun at her party. It was ladybug themed.
Ladybugs hold a special place in my heart in relation to Maddi. The night before I went into labor with her I was a bit stressed out in anticipation and when I looked up there was a ladybug crawling on our ceiling. At that moment, I felt that all would be right and that I would be having a baby girl. The ladybug can be associated with Mary, and I really felt like she was with me at that moment. It was pretty surreal.
I really wantedMaddi's party to be homemade so I made the invitations, decorations and cupcakes. It was so much fun!

Poor Owen. He REALLY wants to like chocolate and sweets, but just doesn't.
