Maylie's Very First Birthday Party.

I wanted to wait til we were all moved into our new home before celebrating May's party since her birthday arrived two days before we moved.

So we planned for Saturday, December 8th.  Nana and Papa came to celebrate with us and when they got there, Mom reminded me that it was Grandma Ruth's birthday.  And since Maylie is named after her in part, I thought it was such a tender mercy her party fell on this day.  

Grandma and Grandpa Johnson weren't able to make it since they were helping Molly and Chris move into their new house.  We'll celebrate with them hopefully soon.

And now, for the party:

5 beautiful pink balloons

With Papa--

A Kiss from Daddy--

And a Kiss from Maylie--

Fascination.

Opening Presents...with big brothers enjoying it even more than Miss Muffin.

With Mommy--

The finished cake...I asked my Mom to help me make a ruffle cake, but as we started, it was evident (as always) that she is a much better decorator than me so I just turned the cake while she frosted. :)

And then while we snapping photos, Little May decided to {accidentally} stick her toes right in her cake...

So we let her lick it off--

Oh, but I did frost her name...

Hesitant at first....

...but not for long--

Then our silly girl started biting the table--

...and her plate--


And then, when it was all gone {and all over the floor}, she decided it would be more proper to use a spoon--

And now for the window decorations. I had so much fun making these! {I had to wait until nighttime to snap pictures since it was too bright during the day}

The End.
