Maggie turned one year old today. Tyler and I are so very thankful for our little girl, she has been such a blessing to us this part year!
We had a little birthday party for her with some of our friends here in Nashville, and Grampa and Gramma Spaid flew out for the festivities as well. She did really great the whole time. None of the kids cried, nothing was broken or spilled ... I'd call that a successful birthday party!
Here's Maggie helping me make cupcakes for her party.
I got this cute little cupcake tree at WalMart - how cute is that?!?! And I realize the frosting colors are a little nuclear (that's homemade buttercream frosting)...
We did a soup and breadsticks buffet: a veggie/tomato soup and a sausage & corn chowder (thanks to Sean & Becky Harrelson, this is our very favorite soup!)
This cupcake is Maggie's very first real dessert. We were strict parents not letting her have any sugar or dessert (really, I mean practically NO sugary foods) until today. She picked that frosted delight right up!
Maggie ate 75% of that cupcake in mere minutes. Not that much ended up on the floor. I think it's safe to say she likes chocolate!!!
Here are some of the kids at the party.
Opening gifts.
We forgot to dole out the party hats to the children until everyone had gone except Kelly and Savannah, so we popped one on Maggie and Savannah and took some pics.
Maggie's party was so much fun! Thank you to all of the people who came to make it that much more special.
We'll be having another "party" tonight at dinner and we'll open family gifts then. We'll post more pictures later on.
