Now look at her!
We went to California for Jeremy's (Ian's brother) wedding the second weekend of May. It was really fun to be there and see everybody and we are excited to have Cami join the family. We decided to celebrate Madeline's birthday with the Payne family that weekend. Since Ian's sister, Elizabeth, happens to be a professional cake maker, she agreed to help me make a cute birthday cake for Madeline (aka mostly make it herself).
Ian helped too.
Here it is. Isn't it cute?! It was a mini tiered cake. Madeline sized!
Thanks for helping out Liz! (She also made the wedding cake which was AMAZING. It was a busy weekend for her.)
It was a strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream and strawberries between the layers. We tried to make everything pink for the baby girl... The cake tasted really yummy.
After cake Madeline opened her presents. She wouldn't let anyone help her except Cami. She was proud of her books.
We celebrated Madeline's birthday with my family on Saturday. I made another cake, this one FAR less impressive (it still tasted good though).
Madeline kind of figured out how to open her presents, although she struggled a little.
We got her this baby doll which she "gives loves" to a lot. It's cute.
This week, as well as with the Paynes, she was pretty unsure at what was happening when were all singing to her.
She was sure she liked the cake though.
It's been a fast but fun year and I am excited to see how she will continue to grow and learn over the next year!P.S. Just a family picture from the wedding...

Yay! So many cute pictures of your little lady. Did the buttercream recipe work for you?
Two other things:
1. That's a good picture of Ian cutting out the fondant!
2. Whenever we hear that Train song we now think of Madeline, which is a nice change from thinking "I am so sick of this freaking song." Love that girl!
I can't believe she is 1! She is a cutie for sure.
I think you should submit the one of her bawling...ADORABLE.
