Our little Madeline turned 1 on June 4, so we had a party Sunday June 3 with our close friends and family to celebrate the occasion. No surprise, the theme was lady bugs :) Here I am with the lady bug cupcakes (thank you Pinterest!)...
For Maddie's smash cake, I made a giant cupcake. She wasn't so sure what to think (especially when she tried to grab the lit candle as we were singing Happy Birthday and everyone gasped)...
Daddy giving her a taste of the icing...
She finally decided it was pretty tasty. However, she was not one of those babies that dives right in and ends up completely covered in cake. She's a lady :)
All of Maddie's aunts and uncles were able to come! Here's the birthday girl with my siblings (who claim they did not make plans ahead of time to all wear orange)...
This little girl received an incredible number of wonderful gifts. She likes to make noise, so my dad got her a pair of maracas at First Friday Art Night...
Her Rockin Harley from Gramps...
This pink rocking chair has her name engraved on it. She has figured out how to climb into it, turn around, and sit down by herself in it...
She also received this pink Maddie-sized lawn chair...
The birthday girl walking around to say hi to everyone. She's great at working a crowd....wandering around and smiling at everyone...
My siblings and I with Maddie in her red & blue tutu Aunt Abbey made...
Here she is on the Mickey Mouse tricycle that her Great Uncle Mo and Great Aunt Denise got her. She LOVES riding up and down the driveway in this thing, and there are all kinds of buttons that she hits to play various tunes. I'm not sure what she's pointing at, but that's her new thing...pointing at everything.
Her last (but certainly not least) gift was from Uncle Michael. Since my sisters have both made her gifts, he decided that he wanted to make his niece something, so he built a bookcase! It's red with white polka-dots to match her lady bug room. I was VERY impressed!
I would say that Miss M certainly had a fantastic first birthday!
