The Mads House: Happy 1st Birthday

This past year has been the best year of our lives. I knew I would love being a mom, but I could never have imagined the overwhelming amount of love I would have for our baby. We just think she is the sweetest, most perfect thing to ever come into our lives.

We had a small birthday party for Tenley at our house. All of my family (minus Jake) and all of Dave's family were there to celebrate.

How amazing is that chalkboard sign? And those "Swig" cookies? I wish I could to take the credit, but I'm only that talented in my dreams. My SIL Meg made the yummy cookies and drew the amazing chalkboard art. It will likely be T's birthday in my house few a few months because I can't get myself to erase it.

I had Dippidee make this smash cake, but she was such a dainty little girl about it and only wanted to lick the frosting. She wouldn't even touch it with her hands!
