Magdalene "Maggie" Grace

Maggie's personality is 1 part mild, 1 part wild, and 2 parts Babybel cheese! A go-with-the-flow second child, Maggie is easy to love. She skips and dances through her days to music only she can hear. Notably sweet and affectionate, she is quick to snuggle and offers comfort with her signature back-pats, kisses, and the gentle assurance, "es okay." Her preferred look: loose hair, pajamas (because she likes to be "supa cozy"), bare feet (to show off painted toes), sunglasses, and a purse.

Maggie's favorite activities include eating cheese (see previous comment), snuggling, playing with her big brother, Andrew, dressing up like a fuzzy pink dinosaur, serving pretend food, chasing bubbles, marching, dancing, and collecting tiny objects she can sort, stack, or fold. She's also a master of silly sounds—including spot-on imitations of a South Carolina tree frog and a dino's mighty roar! Genuinely joyous, Maggie can often be found singing to herself while she plays.

If our family was blessed with $25,000, we’d use part to build a swing set in our backyard in honor of Maggie’s late grandfather and best buddy, our family's designated swing set builder, who recently passed away from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He would have liked to build a swing set for Maggie himself. The rest would be saved for Maggie and her brother’s future education.
