Fancy tea party birthday

Mommy bucked up to prepare scones, cucumber sandwiches, miniquiches, and berries for Madeline's birthday tea party, though she was then too grossed out by the food to eat for the rest of the weekend.

The big surprise-- after the party, one of Daddy's bike friends showed up in Madeline's very favorite thing-- a RED JEEP-- and took us for a ride!

First birthday cake not made by Mommy. I was excited to see Puppup on it.

Callie, Aurora, and Luke were here to celebrate with me.

A brief downpour

By the time Madeline was all ready in her raingear, it was nearly over.

Happy Easter!
