1st Birthday Party

The fam flew in from Texas for the celebrations. Madison is in heaven with everyone here. She is constantly laughing and clapping while smiling ear to ear. I think I'm going to have my hands full with an upset little girl when everyone leaves...
Kate and Garrett playing with Madison's bus and house....thanks Gram and Papa! All the kids love Madison's toys.
Travis took everyone to the simulator to learn to fly. What a blast! Here we are on the bus trekking over to the SIM building.
Travis' Aunt Cindy and Uncle John flew out to celebrate with us. They brought shrimp, boudain and homemade tamales...THANK YOU! We ate like true Southeast Texans!
Madison had three of her closest friends come-Garrett, Kate, and Logan. Cannon came too, but he's still growing in his mommy's belly! All the kids left with big bouncy balls as a toy for coming to the party.
Mommy and Daddy help Madison blow out her candle. Somebody LOVES being the center of attention!

The dessert table....all made with love for Madison from Mommy.
We had the party at the neighborhood club house back porch. It was an absolute blast. We grilled chicken, boudain, beans, and salad. Of course, what meal would be complete without cake and cupcakes. Sorry for all you icecream lovers with your cake...we forgot that!
Mommy made a cupcake mini cake just for Madison. She could care less about the cake. Instead, she wanted to eat the white dot border around the cake.
This whole cake is for me???? And, why is it on fire?

Madison's favorite toy...her new car! She drove that thing all around. She also loved to get out then get right back in. It was a hit! Thanks Granny and Papa Snell...and Mommy and Daddy for such a fun toy!

Looks like a fun birthday party. Wish we could have just stopped by, but guess we will have to see the birthday girl when she gets back to Beaumont.
