I deem it a wonderful success! Magda always likes it when we have company, especially if that company includes either little children to watch/play with or related adults to adore her and make her giggle. And we had an abundance of both. Magda got some exciting new toys, clothes, and videos yet had the most fun ripping up the wrapping paper as it came off the packages.
I baked a pineapple-carrot cake which of course I had to bake twice (the first one was kinda flat and undercooked). The recipe was from a baby food cook book and was pretty tasty, though the chocolate cake that Abuelito brought was slightly more popular with the guests. Magda wasn't too thrilled about her first birtday cake either though she did enjoy playing with it and flinging pieces of it to the floor.
