Madison’s birthday falls right among all the festivities of the Christmas/New Year’s season. As she gets older, she may or may not like that; we’ll see. We decided to have her party the day after Christmas – relatives were still in town, people were still off work, etc. Here is the party timeline…

There were probably around 20 people at Jeremy’s parents house. We started with gift opening…. a tutu from Texas :) a kitty and book a real life babydoll (and other gifts not pictured)
Then we ate. We had a menu of shredded chicken sandwiches, relishes with dip, apples and caramel dip, chips and pretzels, and two cakes (white with vanilla frosting and chocolate with cream cheese frosting) specially decorated by my mom and me. Madison also took the chance to take a picture with her Great-Grandpa.
Then, it was on to the main event: The Cake (and people taking pics of the event)
And that was the party. Jeremy stayed in town through Monday afternoon. I stayed until Wednesday morning with Madison. I was able to get a leisurely lunch in with Sandy on Monday. Then Monday night, my mom treated a “surprise” crowd to waffles, white sauce, Dutch honey, and ham. (For those that know nothing of many of those things… I am sorry – white sauce and Dutch honey are a bit of heaven!) Sandy came for dinner that night, and my college roommie and her family were passing through town (staying with Sandy that night) also came for the meal. It was nice.
