Butterfly Birthday

Madeline's first birthday had a butterfly theme! We had a fun spaghetti dinner at the house followed by Madeline's first taste of cake!

Here we start off with a precious cupcake birthday bow. It lasted for about this picture. She used to be so good about keeping barrettes in but not anymore!

Here is a birthday hat that mircaulously stayed on the entire party! I love it and she will wear it every year on her birthday! Thanks, Bree and Wade!






Our family. Maarten and Yoda were running around somewhere, too busy to take a picture!







Hanging with Aunt Elizabeth!




Here are the butterfly cakes. I had fun decorating them. The first one (on top) looks very Mardi Gra-ish. That wasn't intentional, just how the sprinkles played out. Mark did the piping on the second one and I was very impressed! I guess working at Ben and Jerry's in high school paid off years later!





I made a separate smaller cake for Madeline that she could destroy and eat to her heart's content.




We stripped her down except for the hat, diaper and shoes for the big moment!











"Want some? I'll share!" I love this photo.



Playing nicely with Bree, aka trying to knock her out with a donut ring




Happy Birthday, sweet girl! We have come a long way in a year! You make every day fun!
