Happy Birthday Madelynn love mimi and grandpa



We can’t believe you are already 5 years old!  You bring so much joy and happiness to our family and we thank Heavenly Father every day for sending you to our family.
We always look forward to visiting with you each week on Facetime.  You give us hugs and kisses and sweet and sometimes silly smiles as we talk to you.  We love to see pictures and videos of you as you take your dance lessons or play soccer.  We were surprised at how much you loved playing soccer and you are so awesome at it.  It reminded us of Aunt Julie who loved soccer, too!  We wish we lived closer so we could see you dance and play sports.  We hope to come see you this fall and do that with you.  We are excited that you are doing so well in school too!  You are almost finished with pre-school and are ready to go to kinder.  We know you will continue to learn and grow your brain!  You are such a smart girl but sweet and kind, too.
Last summer (2017) we were so excited to have you come visit California again.  We love that time together.  Grandpa was really glad you were brave and spent the night with Elijah and him as you camped out in the backyard.  We had fun making s’mores and watching the stars around our campfire.  Mimi loved playing Candy Land with you and reading books to you and watching fireworks with you, too.
But the best part was going to the beach with your whole family.  You loved playing in the waves and digging in the sand.  You even are starting to learn how to boogie board a little as we played in the waves.  Each year you enjoy the beach a little bit more.  That makes us happy because we love the beach, too!
Great Grandma and Grandpa Adamson were so happy we all went up to Auburn to visit them.  They loved doing puzzles with you and watching you run up and down their hills or helping them to pick lemons. I am always happy that you are visiting in July so you can help me celebrate my birthday.  Your family bought me a delicious ice cream cake this year. So yummy!
But the most special part of this past year was getting to spend Christmas with you!  We came to watch your new baby brother Clark get blessed but we also loved watching you hold him and take such sweet care of him.  It was so fun to see your elves Lucy and Elvis bring so much fun to our Christmas celebration.  We all got cool T-shirts and jammies to wear declaring our grandkids are AWESOME!  That is so true!  We loved sharing the excitement of Christmas morning with you.  Santa brought you a beautiful bed for Sadie and you seemed to love the new doll we got you.  You named her Mary Sandra Adamson.
We hope you will continue to grow your testimony of the gospel too.  You already love Jesus and try hard to choose the right.  We love to hear you sing Primary songs or say sweet prayers or be a kind sister to your brothers.  We are happy when you listen to your Daddy and Mommy and try your best to be quick to obey them.  They are helping you grow up to be like Jesus.  Grandpa and I love you so much and want you to have a wonderful life.  We are grateful to be your grandparents!

All of our love!
Mimi & Grandpa
