Maddie's tree

We wanted to plant a tree in our backyard to remember Maddie.  Last weekend we all headed out to find a plant or tree that would suit little Maddie.  We looked around a bit and decided that a Bouganvilla was it.  It's bright pink flowers are so vibrant and lively.  It was perfect.  We couldn't wait to plant it in our backyard.

It was a team project for sure.  The girls couldn't find their garden tools so they used our Pottery Barn flatware as shovels.  Hilarious.  They were so ready to help.


It's such a little plant right now but I know it will grow fast.  We think it looks awesome in our backyard.  We hope Maddie likes it too.
