The Happy Meals were a staple with my children growing up. It was amazing to see the joy in my children's eyes when we drove to our local McDonalds for a Happy Meal lunch. My grown teens now say it was one of the happiest childhood memories for them.
Thank you Ms. Yolanda,
God Bless you and your family
