Happy First Birthday, Madi!

Madison is one year old!  I can't believe it has already been one year since she was born. 

To celebrate, we invited a few friends over for cake and ice cream.  Madi got her own little cake to demolish.  She wasn't as aggressive as I was hoping, but she's a girl.  What can I expect?
 



As soon as Madi woke up, we had her open her birthday presents. 


Loving the new outfit from my mom.

Madi loved ripping the wrapping paper.  She got so into, she poked Daniel right in the eye. :)

Madison, we are so happy to have you in our family!  Happy first birthday!

Law Firm Retreat

Daniel's law firm had a firm retreat the same weekend as our anniversary.  We have officially been married six years!  Happy anniversary, Daniel!  We flew Daniel's mom and dad down to our place to watch our girls so we could have a weekend away.  And Daniel's little sister, Amanda, flew in to join the babysitting crew and have fun with the girls for a few days.
The retreat was at a resort in Palos Verdes, California on a cliff overlooking the ocean.  It was a beautiful place!

The resort had a main hotel, some 1-bedroom bungalows closer to the water, and some huge villas which are basically houses.  Because it was our anniversary, Daniel's law firm put us up in a bungalow.  It was so generous of them and a great surprise!

Our bungalow

Pretty much the only picture documenting what we did during our stay--lots of relaxing.  Our activities consisted of sleeping in, a couples massage, daily naps, endless food/drinks on Latham's tab, reading, watching the BYU game, and Daniel putting in a few hours of work.


One last picture before heading back to real life.


Daniel's parents and his sister, Amanda, did a great job entertaining and taking care of our girls while we were gone.

And the girls did a good job taking care of them too.
