On Saturday, May 19th, we celebrated Connor Savino and Caroline Little's birthdays! We showed up to the party when it was over, thinking we were only like 30 mins late due to Maggie's nap! Nope, we read the invite wrong!!! UGH! And I thought the day was going to run smoothly with no bumps! haha Well anywho, Maggie got to play with the Birthday Kiddos and Miss Juliann....and we got to meet Mr. Luke! Those kiddos have so much fun playing together! Maggie just laughs anytime she see them or I say their names....she knows a good time is to be had when they are around!
After their party, we headed over to Charlie Prochaska's party. Maggie had a lot of fun playing at her party as well, and we finally got to meet Miss Kinley Bubela! She is such a cutie! Charlie got lots of fun toys fro her birthday! Thank goodness she got a Coupe-Car for her birthday, because Mags played with that thing all evening!! She knew exactly what to do with it when she got hers the next day.
On Sunday, we celebrated Maggie's birthday at our house! Our family and close friends came over and spent the evening with us celebrating! The older kids made beautiful chalk designs on the drive way, while the little ones played with some smaller toys. Maggie got lots of wonderful gifts from her guests-clothes, books, toys, and even a little money! At Christmas time Maggie loved opening presents, but not so much at her birthday party! She now has this thing for purses/bags...or really anything that has a handle/strap that she can put on her arm/shoulder and carry. So of course when she opened gifts, she only wanted the bag so she could carry it!! Little Stinker!!
Her cake was absolutely delicious! Mrs. Prochaska did an awesome job (as always) decorating it to match Maggie's Mod-Monkey theme! After we sang Happy Birthday, Maggie dug in to her cake and devoured it!! There wasn't much left when she was done!
On her actual birthday, Jackson and I had a few more gifts for her to open and he had some cake that I had saved from her party. She once again...enjoyed it all!!
So...the Tuesday before her birthday, I was telling the ladies at work that all I wanted for Maggie's birthday was for her to either have a tooth or walk. Well, we knew she wouldn't have a tooth.... That evening, my mom and I were talking about wanting her to walk and literally as we were talking about it...she took a step!! I was VERY excited!!! Momma got her wish! haha Since then, she has been taking a few steps at a time. I know she will be running soon!!
It's hard to believe my baby is now 1!!! :(
Wow! Great job on her birthday party. Everything looked great!! Loved the monkey theme - so cute! I can't believe she already had to get a haircut. She's such a cutie!
