yesterday we threw a birthday party for miss madeline who turns one on wednesday. i decided on a french "madeline" theme - how convenient :) and mum and i got to work creating... we were really lucky, although it's mid winter here in australia we had a nice sunny day that wasn't too cold and got to be outside and keep the doors wide open.
mum and i started to make bunting a few weeks ago (and bless her beautiful heart, the gorgeous woman, she went and finished it off - perfectly of course!) and after we decorated we had it strung up all through the house and under the patio flapping in the breeze, such lovely colours and totally worth the effort!
maddie had a lovely time with everyone giggling away and opening her presents with glee. mind you, she certainly seemed much more interested in the paper than anything else. i am sure that will pass in time...
the birthday cake was another story, we sat little miss on the table and gave her a cupcake to munch on while we lit her candle only to have her grab for it... and have her dad grab for her - frightening the heck out of her, leaving us with a sobbing baby the entire time we sang happy birthday and cut the cake. oh well... not everything can be perfect.
but the cake sure was!! my gorgeous best friend offered to make the cake and must have spent hours on it! a gorgeous fondant topped cake with a stencilled madeline on the top. absolutely freaking amazing!! i am so so grateful and cannot get over how perfect it was.
we love this little girl so so much and cannot believe she is almost one. it has gone far too fast. it seems like just yesterday that we were bringing our little munchkin from the hospital. :( oh, it's probably time to think about having another one - hahaha, not this week!

such a lovely, perfect day... we have been so so blessed to have beautiful people in our life and we had a great time! ♥
