Last weekend Maggie celebrated her first birthday with Carrie's side of the family in Columbia. Grandmas and great grandmas, one poppa, a great aunt and uncle and more uncles, aunts and even distant cousins were in attendance for the big event. (Disclaimer: Maggie doesn't actually turn one until this saturday the 15th, however the timing worked better to celebrate a little bit last weekend but don't worry we'll celebrate this weekend too) It was so nice to see so many people come and love on our sweet Maggie Grace! Here are a few pictures from the weekend festivities.
The weekend started out with the cousin rock off. The rules are this: each cousin must sit in a pink or blue rocking chair (dependent on gender) and rock before one or both fall off or jump off. And, faces must be kept absolutely serious with only the left arm holding onto the arm of the chair. A pre-party game if you will. Oh and clothing must coordinate with chairs. Oh and both participants must be absolutely adorable..check ..check...check!
Brody won the big game, but no hard feelings on Maggie's part, she even felt obliged to show little Brody where his nose was. As the winner she felt it was only fair that he know this important information that has been passed down to her from older generations.
Maggie received some wonderful birthday gifts last weekend, this is one of her favorites, a new wagon. She must have circled the basketball court in my parent's backyard for at least half an hour. (with her princess crown on of course)
This picture was too funny not to put in this entry. I think Maggie looks like an old woman in this picture...a very cute old woman mind you. Well, I guess she is almost a one year old.
The party people enjoying their dinner. (pay no attention to the wine being served at the one year old birthday party)
And, this is Maggie's first birthday cake made by her very own great grandma. She really liked the chocolate bunny on top and the marshmallows around the base of the cake.
This is the big moment...the first bite of birthday cake! One bite in and then total meltdown time and then off to bed. Don't worry we'll try again this weekend.

Maggie,
I can't believe you are almost one! You look super cute in that rocking chair. Hope you enjoy celebrating with everyone, I am going to miss not being there at your party. My advice to you is: enjoy all the attention it is great, and eat as much cake as your mom will let you because you won't get it again for a while.
Love,
Lucy
