The Real Thing

Ada turned ONE years-old on August 28!

It was a beautiful day filled with family, friends, and as always great food! Drew and Braden cooked up some great beer brats and sour kraut. Jennie and Evan helped make and decorate the cupcakes. I made Louise's famous potato salad. And Mamo Bobbie and Poppi had fun playing with Ada.

We enjoyed our meal and our conversations. The kids had a blast playing with the piñata and gathering all of the candy that Jennie so neatly and patiently packed into it. We all had fun watching Ada play with the tissue paper from her birthday presents and listened to the music of the balloon toys that looked so neat in the wrapper at the store, but little did we know how loud they would be!

But ultimately everyone was excited about the CAKE. It was a great cake....and it didn't last that long! Ada's practice round in Minnesota surely prepared her for the REAL THING!
