Madelyn's First Easter

Here is Madelyn in her Easter dress...

Madelyn's 1st Birthday Party

Madelyn had lots of fun at her first birthday party. We invited her grandparents, aunts and uncles, and great-grandparents. She woke up from a nap shortly after everyone arrived. Since she had just woken up, at first she was a little freaked out to see so many people in our house and she cried. But once she warmed up to everyone and woke up a little more, she was crawling and walking around having a good time.

You can see the decorations in these pictures. We decorated on Friday night after Madelyn went to bed and when she saw the decorations on Saturday morning, she loved them! It was so cute. She was very excited and was babbling like crazy and reaching for them.

Here's her cake...the giant cupcake was hers...little ones for everyone else

And now it's time for cake (and singing happy birthday of course)...

She really didn't get very messy. She had some icing on her face and clothes and a little in her hair, but not too bad. I was able to clean her off pretty easily. Although she wasn't too happy about getting cleaned up (that's her mean face)...

And finally she opened her gifts. She got lots of cute clothes and pajamas, books, baby dolls, shoes, and stuffed animals. She's spoiled rotten. She loved it all so much that she was trying to pick up everything at once...
