PRINCESS PARTY!!

 
Welcome to Princess Maddie's first birthday party!!

 
Look at this....

 

Fabulous Grandparents think alike!

 
It was funny how different this was than Christmas. She understood to pull the paper and everything! She did seem confused by the fact that everyone was watching her, but at least she was willing to share her dress she got with Dave!

 
She started out all danty like this......

 

And ended like this! She is a great sharer of her food. I'm sure Dave loved this slobbery cake off her fingers!

 
Big bites! Wow!

 
Is that mine??!

Here's the crazies!!!

 

The centerpieces were my favorite, even if the glitter did start to swim on the table cloths for a while!

 
The "Happy Birthday Princess" balloons were the only ones that lasted through the rain and wind. Yes, it did rain and yes, I did kind of freak out! What can I say???

 

Uncle Mike and Aunt Heather pose for the camera!

 
Friends were there......

 
and wonderful great grandparents! It's great to have family come to parties!

 

Cousin Carter and Tyson are all smiles. How cute are they??!

 
Here's Grandpa Archer talking with Paul!

 
Oh how Maddie loves her Uncle Kaden! Big, wet, slobbery kisses are so great!

 

Dave and Cams were playing with the ball. Or, as Cameron would say, "Da Baw!" So cute!

 
Oh, the love birds! We were happy to have Jayson and Kassi at the party, even if they are mushy!!! :)

 
Grandpa Madson and the crazy Kortlan and Kendrie!

 

I think Jenny is picking Scott's nose! :)

 
Heather, Grandma Archer, and Cams at the party!

Duck Fetish

 

It really is neverending with her and her duck obsession! This is such a strange thing to snuggle with and fall asleep. Granted, she does always have a stuffed animal to go to sleep with, but a rubber duck? Really.... :)!

Dance A Dance!

 

We took Maddie to the Brigham City Arts festival and there was a band playing reggae music. We thought Maddie was still asleep in her stroller when we felt it shaking. Maddie really loved the beat and kept sitting up in her stroller, holding on to the handle to dance. She really does dance quite well to the beat. She'll be a dancer yet!

Happy Happy!

 

Maddie really is just a happy little girl. I think she is heaven sent. Even when she is mad, all you have to do is hold up a doll and say, "Maddie, look! It's a baby!" and she says "baby" and is happy again. We are so blessed to have such an easy going child!
