Madi's Birthday! (finally...)

So I know this post is WAY over due, but at least it's hear now! So for Madi's 1st birthday we were all sick! We didn't really celebrate to much the day of, but we did have a fun day. First I took her to get some Birthday balloons, then later in the day, John took her to get some Birthday books. :) We had pancakes for dinner as her birthday "cake" and she loved them!
I also made carrot cake cupcakes, and she LOVED those too! She is a big fan of carrot cake, and it makes me feel a little better about giving her cupcakes.
The cupcakes we're heart shaped!

She was unsure at first, but quickly got the hang of it!




Yummy carrot cake!



This was my first time with the heart pan. I had to try different ways at frosting them! I know thats kinda bizarre to worry about, but circles are easy, hearts weren't. So these were my practice cupcakes.



Mealtime has now become play time for Madi as she decides spoons are toys. But isn't she SO cute?!




These are the few friends she had over for her Birthday once we were all feeling a little better.




The cupcake she ate at her party had a little frosting on it, so she liked it even better then the first ones.



Such a silly sweet girl! She picked out pink spoons for her party and ended up playing with one all day.




Happy girl loves her balloons too!


Showing off her Birthday dress! (that's still a little too big)



What a dollface!! This was after her party when it was time for a nap. She was slowing down a little, but still being cute as ever!
I wanna thank everyone for her presents, and books! She LOVES every book she owns and they are what she plays with 90% of the time! ( the other 10% is probably getting into the kitchen cupboards!) Haha!
I am so glad she had a good 1st Birthday! It was small, which I like because she really isn't going to remember it, and it will be easier to outdo next year! I love you little bug!!
