Little Miss Maia Has a Happy First Birthday

Can you believe I'm ONE?! It's been so much fun sharing all my adventures with you this year. To celebrate my birthday, we had some family and friends over for lots of food and cake.

Babcia and Opa were the first to arrive - they helped Mommy and Daddy get ready for the party. Daddy went to pick up some big balloons, and Opa let me see them up close. I thought they were pretty cool for a while until they started moving by themselves, and then I got a little scared.



After everyone got to our house, it was time to eat. I had ziti--yum!

I was so happy Sara could come to my party! We usually hang out at her house.
Daddy with Phil, Tracy, Chrissy, and Dave.

Here's the Hello Kitty Cake Babcia made for my party--aren't I lucky?!

I wore this dumb tiara just long enough to get a picture with Mommy and Daddy.

I wasn't sure what was going on, and then everybody started singing...to me!

Babcia tried to get me to blow out the candle but I didn't know how. Maybe next year.


Then, it was time to eat cake!!







Next, we opened presents. Everybody watched to see what I got. It was so nice of everybody to bring me something for my birthday!

Of course, every girl loves something green!Both the paper and the Hello Kitty bank were very exciting.


I got lots of cute clothes that I'll be able to wear when it's warmer.

I don't know what's inside this one but I'm so excited about it!


Thanks everybody!!
Bye bye! See you next time!
