Almost one month later, I've finally gotten around to posting the post of all posts, the post you've all been waiting for--THE BIRTHDAY POST. We had quite the big b-day bash for our little guy. And since we all know that I can be a bit wordy, I thought I'd break down the festivities in an easy to read, precise (and brief--well brief for me) fashion. So, here's the break-down of the b-day bash:
The guest of honor:
William Grant Madsen
The guests:
Nate, Amy, Beth and Sam Madsen (our favorite Vermonters)
Jane Madsen (Will's twin aunt)
Josh & Jessy Madsen
The activities:
Friday Night: dinner at Five Guy's Burgers (best burgers in town) to celebrate the eve of Will's birth (this is where Josh and I ate the night before Will was born, so we thought it would be fitting to eat there on the eve of Will's b-day).
Saturday:
Breakfast: steel-cut oats with raspberries, blackberries and almonds. Will's favorite breakfast at the moment
Nap
Ball party at the church, including a ball obstacle course and a disco ball. Don't be jealous of the fun we had.
Lunch: sandwiches
Nap: everyone in the house (except Beth) took a nice afternoon nap. Nice work, everyone.
Sledding: Will still hates it. Even on his b-day.
Dinner: Meatballs. Will's absolute favorite: meat in the shape of a ball. It doesn't get better than that. B/c everyone took a nap it was a tad bit late and the kids ate quickly before the adults. After the kids went to bed, the adults had a nice, relaxing long dinner of yummy spaghetti & meatballs sans kids.
Cake: in the shape of a baseball since Will hearts ball. Freaked Will out. He eventually decided to eat the ice cream but wouldn't have much to do with the cake.
Now here are the photos, documenting the fun that was had by all. To ease your viewing process, I've broken the photos into three groups.
And that's all there is. Whoa, I'm tired just posting about it. A grand time was had by all and we want to give a big shout out to our out-of-town guests for taking the time to come to Will's first b-day! Happy b-day, Willy!
Oh, and if you didn't get enough, here's the video of Will getting his b-day cake.

So fun! I can't believe he's already 1, that means mine will be in another month! I'm very impressed with the cake, you might see me stealing the idea for one of my boys in the future (I'm not the most creative, but I can handle that and copy well:)). I also loved the birthday banner. Did you make that as well? Who knew you were so crafty! Happy birthday a month ago, Will!
I am so sad that I missed out on that party! I can't believe Will is already a year old! OK, I have to go in order here...I loved the idea of a ball obstacle course-you are a genius and I loved the cake. And also, I just ordered that Happy Birthday sign from an etsy site! I love it, I am anxiously awaiting its arrival. We miss you guys...i wish we could come out and visit again, maybe one day!!! :)
