The Happy Birthday Rap

This past weekend we celebrated Maddie's 1st birthday.  What a great time we had.  The festivities began on Friday with Grammie, Grandpie, Nanny, & Poppy arriving.  Saturday morning Nanny, Maddie, Karli, Mason, Edie, & I went to the pool so that Maddie could get all of her energy out to nap good.  Maddie had a great time at her party.  She mingled with the crowd, got to see lots of her family, & hung out with some of her friends.  Uncle Rick was on call & he & Randy had to leave early we he got paged with an unexpected case of priaprism.  What a great laugh we all had.  For those of you who do not know what priaprism is....let's just say that the Cialis lasted WAY TOO LONG.  Maddie sure did enjoy her birthday cake.  She pretty much demolished it.  It was everywhere...in her ears, hair, & all over her whole body.  Grammie took her straight up to the bath!  Afterwards she opened her presents.  Her cousins, Mason & Sam helped her unwrap them.   She did like eating the wrapping paper too.  She got some great presents.  This morning she enjoyed the toys that I put together late last night.   Maddie had one of the worst nights that she has had in months.  She was up crying at 12:30, 2:00, & 2:30.  I finally put her in our bed at 2:30.  She then slept until 5.  This is when the sugar rush hit from ALL the birthday cake.  She was ready to play.  We put her back in her room & she then slept till 7:30.  Thank goodness.  This afternoon we did our 1 year pictures with our photographer's dad.  I can't wait to get the pictures & of course I'll post them!
