The weather Sunday 09/29/24 was just great for an outside Maisie's 1st Birthday Party.

Colin had brought over folding chairs and long tables that Marissa and Gary set up on the side yard grass. What a great day it was for little Maisie!

Though Colin was working that day, he and a couple of other Dover Fire and Rescue friends drove one of the fire trucks over to the party. They just stayed for a little while so all of the kids could climb on the truck. Each one got a little fire fighter's hat. It was a sweet thing for Colin to arrange, and a nice public outreach as other kids in the neighborhood got to see the truck as well.

It was a really fun day, and a joy to see Maisie's face smeared with cake.

Sue painted this card for Maisie. It was truly a gift of love for Maisie as she spent literally days creating it.

This will very soon become quite the mess....

Is that a happy face, or what!
