My First...

Birthday Party!!!!

Yesterday we celebrated Madeline's 1st birthday with our family and friends. As I said in our previous post, our house is a little cramped for 47 party goers, but we managed to get them all in anyway! Here are the highlights*.

Madeline near the end of the evening. Look at those sleepy eyes!

Madeline's birthday cake... I should have used the flash on the camera.

Olive thinks the party is all for her!

Madeline with her cakes. The big one and her "smash" cake as the woman who made them called it.

Maddy wasn't so sure what to do with this cake so dad had to help her get it started.

Dig in!

That's more like it!
For a while she was eating so daintily!

Get it all in there!

Our little house with her big crowd!

Hanging out with the Great Grandmas!
GG Kirk has Madeline on her lap and GMa McGrath is on the right.

Bryan and Beth take Madeline out to test drive their gift to her!
Beth ended up walking Madeline up and down the street for at least a half an hour. What a sport!

Uncle Elliot and Aunt Kathy cuddle with Madeline at the end of the evening. Even though she is tired, they still managed to get some giggles out of her!
