Happy 1st Birthday, Maddie!

Our friends, The Cruz's, little girl Maddie turned one year old over the weekend. Her birthday party was at their house and it was Elmo-themed (which happens to be Natalie's favorite puppet, too). When we got there, Natalie could not help but point out Elmo everywhere. The house was full of kids (mainly girls) and it was really cute to see Natalie and Maddie play together, too.

Maddie did so well with her birthday cake. She dove into it, face first, and only used her mouth to eat it. It was so cute! Maddie was loving every bite of her cake. Happy Birthday, Maddie!
