Her First Cake

Macie's first birthday fell on Easter weekend this year.

Which meant that it also corresponded with our Spring Break.

We invited just a few family friends to celebrate with us.

Every single one was either out of town, already committed to something for Easter or sick.

Every one except my parents, 

Which is just about better than any other guest anyway.

Macie also had a cold on her birthday - 

She's had quite a few since she quit nursing in January - 

And I'm hoping that she's getting them all done with so that we can be healthy next year.

But, it was a nice and relaxing birthday.

We were able to give her plenty of time to discover her presents.

And plenty of breaks between activities.

And the very last activity was...

And, more importantly, this...

I love smash cakes.

But would Macie?

She started out all proper-like, in great girl fashion.

And then she was grabbing handfuls.

Pretty sure she preferred the frosting over the cake.

So she was probably happy when she managed to get the top layer to slide off,

Revealing another yummy layer of frosting.

After 20 minutes or so of cake-eating cuteness, it was time to clean my little girl off.

Once clean and jammied,

She went into her grandma's arms.

We had the perfect first birthday with our baby girl.
