Maddison turns 1!

I know I've been slacking with the blog updates, so here you go! Only a week late! Two weekends ago Trever, Claire, Greg, Kathy and I headed toward Ohio for a very special birthday party! We had a good time even if we did spread colds to the entire family.

Here's a close up of the birthday girl in her birthday girl shirt!


Maddi wasn't too sure what to think of all of the people checking her out but she got some super cool toys!

Apparently Maddison is going to be a neat freak. She didn't really get in to her cake much and when Aunt Krista decided to help her, this is what resulted!

The coolest gift of the weekend was the music set so that Claire & Maddison can start their own band. :-D

I'm not sure how much Claire enjoyed her trip. When we picked her up from Ms. Mary's house she had a slight fever. By the time we got to Ohio she had a runny nose, runny eyes, drool, the whole shebang! We all survived her first fever and cold, but not without sharing! We're all still recovering and it sounds like the DeOrnellas family is suffering now, but we're sure glad we got to celebrate Maddi's first birthday!

Isn't Claire too stinkin' cute...even with a runny nose!
