Maple’s 1st Birthday!

For ‘not having anything planned’ this little princess had quite the day!  Four sets of company, so much fun, and cute pictures.  What a special day!

Maple had 6 boys over for her birthday.  (One was too hungry to be in the picture, and Ole soon followed suit.)  And yes, that would be the birthday girl, trying to kiss a boy on her 1st birthday! 😛

One year ago today… 3 moms with 3 little boys had a playdate… Exactly a year later it was the same three of us together again, with FOUR MORE little kids! 😀

We spotted a really neat bird (I think a hawk) outside.

Lots of help making the frosting…

Time for cake!  We Skyped to Grandpa and Grandma in China so everyone could sing to her!  So special!

“Do you really mean it, Mom?  I’m allowed to touch it??!”

“Mmmmm, quite good!”

Because with two toddlers, an action shot is all you get. 😉

“Can’t believe I’m 1!”

Maple Rose, what a joy you are to have in our family!  We love you! <3
