Madeliene's First Birthday Party

This weekend we traveled to Princeville, IL to visit the Pollard/Harn family and to celebrate Madeliene's First Birthday.

Part of Suellen's family traditions is to always make the cake yourself and decorate it.

The family before cake, Madeliene was getting ready to dig in.

Present time! Being that this was a Little People Fire Truck, this of course was Abby's favorite present of Madeliene's. It had plenty of attention and will probably need new batteries by next week.
Madeliene also got a froggy pool that needed to be tested out by the girls. Abby's swimming suit stayed in Columbia so we improvised. Both girls had a great time splashing around and playing in the water. They were pretty much wound up for the rest of the evening with squealing and laughing from dinner until bedtime. Abby was dragging Madeliene around on her blankie and both thought that was a great ride, along with some wrestling.

Suellen and Justin had a good group of family and friends at the party and we all had a great time. Plus there was Godfather's Pizza involved so the weekend was perfect in my opinion.
