Maddie's party at our house

On the morning of Maddie's birthday, we took her to breakfast at the bakery. Daddy takes her there on the days he keeps her home and they eat donuts and feed the birds. We ate donuts then went to the park to swing on the big swings. She really loved swinging! She has such a little dare-devil personality and I think she will really love to ride all the rides one day.

Here is Maddie swinging at Landa Park like a big girl!

That evening we invited some of our neighbors and friends over to celebrate her birthday. It was fun watching all the kids run around the backyard and the adults got to visit. After playing, we headed inside to open presents and eat cake!!

Maddie is opening all her presents in her cute chair from Mimi. All the kids wanted to help her open the presents too. She didn't really care.

Can you find the birthday girl?

Maddie received two of these neat musical books. She really enjoys reading them because they are so interactive for her.

Maddie loved when everyone sang to her. She began clapping and smiling! So cute!

Aunt Andrea was able to come over for a little while and give Maddie her new little car. She loves pushing it around the house.

Kisses from Nana! (stayed tuned for a picture of nana & papa's present...hint: it is red and has wheels...)

Say "cheese" Aunt Rae Rae! Maddie was fascinated with the popped balloon but Aunt Rae was posing!

It was a great first birthday party and Maddie did so good with all the excitement. Thank you for keeping in touch with us! We love you!
