On February 14th, 2012 at 7:31 AM I was imagining the very first moment I held my first born. Looking down at Madison's beautiful little face in that moment made me realize just how blessed our family had become and one year later we could not be any happier. Our life is filled with such a love, adoration and fun. Today, for example, we had fun simply strolling around Lowe's and watching Madison wave bye bye to everyone that walked by. Life is simply WONDERFUL!
We enjoyed celebrating Madison's birthday at Mary and Gary's new home home in Rapid City. Spending her first birthday with most of our family was super important to us.
We have so many adorable pictures I just could not limit it down. So instead....You get alot of pictures. ;)
Our day began with a fashion show. Madison showed off her adorable tutu, leggings, onsie and skecher twinkle toes.

| Grandma and Grandpa Benson feeding a hungry girl |
The next item on the agenda....CAKE!! Madison was not a fan of everyone watching her dig (on lack there of) into the cake. There were many shy moments, looking at Mommy for reassurance. Once I held her she enjoyed the cake much more.
 |
| The big cake was white with a strawberry filling for the guests and the little owl cake was Madison's to dig into |
 |
| Oh, Mom, everyone keeps staring at me! |
 |
| It's just too much pressure!! |
 |
| You want to try, Mommy? |
 |
| A little bit of milk to wash all this sweetness down |
Next, PRESENTS! Madison is such a lucky little girl. Everyone spoiled her rotten with books, toys and SUPER cute clothing. Here are a few highlights.

The day was PERFECT. There were a few moments of uncertainty (i.e. lack of a nap) but overall the party was a success. Thank you everyone for making our beautiful little girl's birthday so memorable.
P.S. Mary and Gary's new home is amazing. The style and comfort of the home fits them to a "T." Or should I say "Tee" being it is sitting on Hole Number 11 of the Elks Golf Course. So behind that cute face of Madison's please enjoy the back drop ;)
