Madison's 1st Birthday!!!

It's true my Miss Maddie Sue is a year old today! AND YES, I am in complete denial about it. The year has past so quickly right in front of my eyes, and I am sitting here thinking where has all the time gone. I have loved each day with Madison and feel so happy she has allowed me to experience the joys of motherhood.

 We have had a fun time partying and celebrating her BIG TIME birthday. We started the celebrations yesterday with a friend party, and were so happy with the amazing turn out of our supportive friends.

Party Decorations- I decided to try to go all out and even started a pintrest account so I could get ideas for my sweet baby girl's birthday.

 The Food Spread

 The birthday decor

 I displayed pictures of Madison all throughout the house from day one to year one. Kinda the birthday party theme. Above are all the Tinkerbell pictures on display for our party guests.

Here are some of the fun pics from the party- Madison did a great job putting on an awesome show of eating her cake and opening her presents! Here she is below enjoying her cake!!!

 Digging right in!!! Her party day was the first time I let her have sugar and I think she liked it very much, in fact I think she LOVED it.

 Hmmmmmm are all these people watching me! Yep they are baby girl, and good job entertaining them:)

 More please!

 Today- Daddy has had to work so I have had fun spoiling Maddie, and have been documenting the entire day by video taping her and taking pictures. That way when Daddy gets home we can show him what we have been up to. Here's our summary (Morning Waking up,Bath time,Party at friends,Playing with new presents, Talking with grandparents and cousins, and Getting tons of kisses and loves from the people who love her MOST (Mom and Dad)!!!

Happy Birthday Madison. Thanks for making this past year so wonderful for US!

Valentine's Day

 It was my year to plan our day of love!!! We had a great time spoiling each other, getting dolled up, getting a sitter, and going out to eat. Then after dinner we kept partying by going to Dave and Busters. We had fun playing some games there and even won a Brutus the Buckeye doll for Maddie!

 Scottie's day started off with a heart attack from me! Lucky for me he accepted and decided to be my Valentine:)

 My day started out with a flower and chocolate surprise from Scottie. In Scottie's card he told me he wanted to kiss my two lips, so he got me tulips. Clever huh? LOL.

 We both came up with fun ways to give our V-day gifts to each other, and here is Scottie with his Valentines remember when game. (it was like memory, and every time he got a match, he got to open a gift). Scottie's theme for me was a few of our favorite things in Columbus. So hard to believe we only have a little over 3 months here:( I am so sad!!!

 Us after we dropped Maddie off with her sitter. Thanks Linzi!!!

 At dinner- We went to a Chinese Cameron Mitchel restaurant. It was super yummy and we loved the decor and atmosphere of the place.

 See...check out those hanging red lanterns!!!

 and me reading my fortune.

 The partying then continued with the after party at Dave and Busters. We changed and had some fun playing giant connect 4, doing motorcycle races, playing some skeeball, along with many other fun arcade games. We even got enough tickets to bring home a sweet prize for our baby girl!

 Our Valentine's Angel-wearing Dad's heart attack!!! ( Can't post with out a pic of Maddie)

I am so grateful for the sweet husband I have in my life, and feel blessed to get to spend eternity with him! Maybe that sounds cheesy, but it is so true. " I am in love, I am in love, I am in love, and I don't care who knows! (Buddy the Elf)." Hope everyone's day of LOVE was amazing!!!
