We had Madailein's 1st Birthday party yesterday and pulled off despite a few hiccups! Those being my dh's ex-wife decided she wasn't available to drive the girls to the party so he had to leave for 2 hours during crunch time to pick them up. That meant the time I needed to use making food was re-directed towards last minute clean-up/decorating/taking care of Maddy...I didn't get the food done! He brought back chips and ice cream (instant party ?!?) meh...it happens I guess.

I don't have a fancy camera, so they pictures I took aren't wonderful, that's next on our list to buy I suppose!

Maddy was bothered by her teeth and really not in the best of spirits all day. Her Grandma wanted her to wear the outfit she bought her (pink Carharts in size 18 months) just a tad too big The cake was delicious, she was thrilled with the balloons and later in the evening the toys she opened mid-temper tantrum!

You're only one once!!!
