PARTY . . .PARTY. . . .PARTY!

Morning -

Well, it happened, we had Maddie's first birthday party this weekend!! Pat and I had a multitude of emotions as the day approached, happened, and passed. We were in shock that our daughter is now a TODDLER (how did that happen), we were anxious for her special day, we were filled with gratitude due to our family and friends, and of course were sad to see the day come and go so fast! It was a tight squeeze to get everything in the house, but it didnt matter. . . .everything worked out great!!

Here it is. . .the cake that Pat and I made for Maddie!

She got a couple things. . . .


Ripping open a big one from Uncle Court and Aunt Shari!

Her first bible - it had a bear on the front - she felt the need to give him a kiss! So sweet!

What's this?????


Took no time for her to dig right in!

Yummy!

What are you looking at??????????

Her new obsession. . . .dogs!! She kisses the tv when she sees them!

The weekend wrapped up with Shrimp class! She is waving to Gma and Gpa Tamminga who came to watch before they left on vacation!!

What a wonderful weekend for all of us. I want to thank our family and friends for being a part of Maddie's special day - you all mean so much to us and are so blessed to have all of you in our lives. We love you!!!

Jamie, Pat, and Maddie
