Madi turns ONE!!!!!

 

 

We cannot believe how quickly time flies by!!!  Our little Madilynn has turned one!!!  She has brought so much joy and happiness into not only our lives, but to many others as well.  She has such a kind and gentle nature, but can also be strong willed when she wants to be.  She has been developing right according to schedule.  Here is a sneak peek into her last 12 months:

For her big birthday, we had to have spaghetti, due to the old family tradition.  Not only do they get spaghetti, but they get to have the whole plate, and eat it with their hands!!

 

 

The anticipation was killing her!!!

 

 

Hmmm... Now what do I do?!?

 

 

Okay, I've got this!!

 

 

Please sir... Can I have some more? :)

 

 

We also had a little birthday party that was ladybug themed.  It turned out pretty cute!

 

 

Here is the cake that Aunt Becca made for Madi to enjoy.  It turned out so cute!

 

 

We had cupcakes for everyone else. These didn't turn out quite like I had hoped they would, but oh well...

 

 

This was Madi's high chair all decorated. :)

 

 

We decorated the tables in red tablecloths, and then cut out black circles of felt to put in the middle.  It turned out really cute! 

 

 

Madi looked adorable in her outfit made by her Aunt Lindsey!  Thanks again Linds... :)

 

 

When we gave her the cake to eat, she kept looking at us like, "You want me to what?!?!"

 

 

"I can totally do that!!!"

 

 

Clean-up was intense, but it was worth it!! 

Overall, it was a great party.  We are so happy to have been able to celebrate the joy in our life.  We are eternally grateful that Madilynn was sent to our family.  We love her more than words can express!!

Happy Birthday Madi!!!
