When Matt & I were planning Madison’s first birthday party, we started with the guest list. We agreed that we would only invite people who have been a significant part of her life for the last year. We thought that would help narrow down the guests and give us a smaller party to plan.
Did I mention that she woke up the morning of her party with 100 degree fever and an ear infection AND has two molars coming in? Poor kid was a trooper. And I was reminded that I’m an introvert who is exhausted at the end of these things, has no idea what even happened, hope everyone had a good time and apologize to the people I never even spoke to. Thanks for being part of Madi’s life over the last year 🙂


Oh and Madi loved all of her new toys so much that she chose to skip her nap yesterday to keep playing 🙂
Gah I get all teary looking at these. There is nothing, NOTHING like a baby girl turning one. Oh my heart. Enjoy every delicious minute. None of it is wasted. All those people who love on her – what a gift. They are what you will remember. Lucky church basement to have so much love squished into it on a single afternoon!
Thanks so much 🙂
Thanks Aurie! I highly recommend the cupcake bar. I’m not sure I hate anything more than putting icing on cupcakes..and I didn’t have to!
What a fun party idea! I love the idea of a cupcake bar 🙂
Happy Birthday Madi !! Great job Crystal!!
