Madeline's Auckland Birthday

Aloha...
Here are some long awaited photos... this little person had a lot of fun at her birthday party with her family and her Windsors. I attempted my first fondant icing and shape cake... so if anyone needs pink icing colouring paste i'm your girl.
Here are some highlights (thanks Lys for the photography).

13 Sept Madeline's first 1st birthday Party

Hi all...
we've got 3 birthday celebrations for Madelines first birthday. This weekend kicked them off with a trip up north for grandma and poppa's turn! Shelley is getting another year older too so we've celebrated with her... and nana came for lunch. Today (sunday) we took Madeline to feed the chickens and the calves and she totally loved it.... she's been beside herself with the woo woo's which is her word for dog and the cats have had a bit of a hammering with some gentle stroking and some not-so-gentle ear pulling! She unfortunately has conjunctivitis and today developed a cold so we're feeling a bit sorry for her... but in usual Madeline fashion she isn't phased at all! hopefully her laid back and happy personality remains for the rest of her life!

anyway here we are...hope you're well

love


Sarah
