First birthdays are for waking up to a room full of balloons. They are for giggles, smiles, and squeals of glee. They are for daffodils, and boxes covered in homemade, polka-dot wrapping paper, made by Mama late last night using potatoes and paint.
First birthdays are stay-in-your-PJs-until-lunch, they are wear-a-silly-hat-if-you-want-to, they are tear-the-paper-off-your-presents as if there were no greater joy in the world.
Madeleine spent the morning of her first birthday with her parents and grandparents, playing, kissing, laughing, opening presents, playing with her new toys.
In the afternoon some friends came over and there was more laughter, more exciting new presents, a song, a loving kiss for a new doll, a first taste of chocolate cake, a chance to stay up late.
Her joy was so infectious, she made her first birthday the most special day possible, for all of us.
Oh how sweet she is – happy Birthday cute one xxx <3
Hope the day was filled with lots of love, laughter and fun {sure sounds like it :)}
Thanks Lisa, it sure was.
The perfect 1st birthday. It’s all about the balloons anyway, whatever the age! Happy birthday little cutie. x
So true. It is ALL about the balloons.
Happy birthday, little one!
Her smile is truly infectious. I’m grinning from the other side of the world!
And now you have made ME smile.
Oh the joy of first birthdays! What a bright button she is… and yes, her joy is infectious – even through photos. Thanks for sharing. And happy birthday (again) to your gorgeous Miss M. And congratulations to you for being an amazing mum. I think every mum getting through that first year deserves a big pat on the back. HUGE milestone. And so much to look forward to as well. xx
Thank you my dear Deborah. I love to look at your little family for a glimpse of what is ahead.
