Happy Birthday, Baby

We celebrated Mae's first birthday last weekend in Clarkston.  It's hard to believe Baby Mae is one.  She's shedding more of her"baby" title every day and quickly becoming "The Kid."  In fact, she started walking the day before her party, so she had some new moves to show off to her grandmas and grandpas.  Check out some pictures from her party!

Three dozen cupcakes. Three dozen fondant monkey faces.
Eighteen girl monkeys.
Eighteen boy monkeys.
One late night.

Mae's Cupcake

"Hmmm, what's this tastes like?" wonders Mae in her cupcake dress.

"I'll try just a little bit."

"Mmm...That's pretty good."

"And it's all mine?"

"Don't mind if I do."

"That was GOOD!  Can I open presents now?"

Cousins Luella and Rebecca dress up for Mae's party.

After a quick bath, Mae and Daddy open presents.
Mae gets her very own rocking chair from Great-Great Grandma and Auncy.

"WOW! Look at all these cool presents. People must really like me!"
