Saturday was Maddie's first birthday party! We celebrated with Doug's Mom and Grandma (Doug's Dad wasn't feeling well and wasn't able to come), Doug's Brother Joey and his family, Kris's sister Meg and her family (the Scholls), and Kris's friend Angela and her family (the Vivos). There were 9 kids all together. Fortunately, the Scholls brought Caitlyn's bouncer for the kids to play with in in the back yard. They had a ball playing in it all day. They also had a good time playing in Maddie's play room.
Doug and Kris were up late and up early Friday and Saturday baking Maddie's cake. We think it turned out pretty well. We made everything on the cake including the butterflies and flowers which was VERY time consuming, but worth the effort.
The party was a butterfly theme. The kids all got treat bags (the sticky hands were really popular) and we also had a butterfly pinata which was a big hit. Maddie's butterfly dress (which we had made) turned out very well too. Maddie got lots of presents and really enjoyed herself. She is at the point now where she actually tries to play with toys and make them work (she doesn't just chew on them). It is exciting to watch. She got a Disney Princess bat and ball that she would not put down. Most of our pictures of Maddie during the present opening have her holding the bat and ball.
We want to thank everyone who came to the party and thank you for celebrating Maddie's first birthday with us. The party was a lot of fun and we think (and hope) everyone enjoyed themselves. We think everyone (kids, dogs, and adults) will sleep well tonight!

What a wonderful party we had! Grandpa felt so bad that he missed her first bithday party. (Maddie..it might be a good time to lay on the guilt and maybe he will buy you another present). Great Grandma and I loved watching her play with the other children and have so much fun with all her gifts. We are so pround of her. Of course, we were proud of Mommy and Daddy too because you did so much to make her day extra special. We love you all.
