Maddi's First Birthday

I'm about a week late on this, but on April 7th we celebrated Maddi's 1st Birthday with some Friends and we all had a blast!

Fun Birthday Outfit!


Off to chase some more wrapping paper! Her favorite "gift" by far. However a close second were her Little People School Bus from Mommy and Daddy, and the fun Pink Cell Phone from Grandma and Grandpa Nelson ( Thank You!) And Mommy is throughly enjoying the cute outfit from Uncle Layne and Aunt Karen, and the beautiful Quilt from Grandma Tresa. And thank you to everyone else who sent cards and Money!


Let the Cake Smashing Begin! I always opt for Cupcakes and my kids' First Birthdays. They seem to be the perfect size and as you will see in a second the smaller size doesn't lessen the amount of mess they are able to make at all!


She Started off SlowAnd stayed at a Steady Pace....
For Quite awhile....So long that we all began to pay attention to other things....

Such as the dainty cupcake eating that was going on at the Princess Table....While Maddi Continued

and Continued...

the cupcake DESTRUCTION!!!!
And then proceeded DIRECTLY off to the bath! A first Birthday Can't get much better than that!

Fun Fun! I can't believe she is already a year old! She looks older too, like she is losing the baby chub! Sad!
