I think we most enjoyed watching the little ones interact. They were tiny last Christmas when they last saw one another. This recent weekend, it was funny because of course, they always wanted the toy that the other one had. Madison didn't mind Luke taking toys from her. She did love chasing him. It was so funny because he acted scared of her when she would go after him. She's a little stinker.
We went to Cannon Beach for the day on Saturday. It was Luke's first time to the beach! He could not get enough of that freezing cold water. I think he ate his fair share of sand, too.
On Sunday, we went to church, relaxed, and ended the night with a simple birthday celebration. It was just the family, eating Madison's favortite-spaghetti, cupcakes, and then watching her (me) open some presents. I kind of wanted to do a bigger party with invites and everything else, but this was just as special and much less stress! Maybe next year when she's older to actually enjoy it.

On Monday, Bryce had to work, so I took everyone to the zoo. We got rained on but still got to see a bunch of animals. It was our first time to the Oregon Zoo in Portland. Madison loved watching the animals and only wished I had let her walk around instead of strapping her to the stroller (as usual).
So thankful they were all able to come and celebrate our sweet girl with us!
Wise lady to not make a biggy of the first b'day. Let it be family and so special that some were there with you. The little ones do not really know much until 3 or 4 as to friends and stuff. It is a lot less stressful for you also Just imagine having 5-6 little ones there eating cake and going after stuff. Wise
