Drowning in Icing

So we suppose Emma can officially be one today since we had her party today.  A cupcake party, nonetheless!  And goodness, was this party SO MUCH FUN to plan!!!!!  But first things first.  Her actual birthday.

Thursday the 16th, we had a pretty low-key day.  Then around 4:00, we headed to Little Monkey Bizness to play!  Noah has been there several times to play, but this was Emma's first time - and she had such a great time!  She played and screamed and laughed and even made some new friends (she's quite social, this little one).  After that, it was off to Chick-Fil-A for supper - one of her favorites! She had the best first birthday.  :)
















And what first birthday would be complete without having a first pedicure?




Now back to today, Saturday, the 18th.  Party day!!!!  The snow and cruddy weather yesterday and this morning made us wonder if it would affect party attendance - but it didn't!  Only a couple of families couldn't come because of sickness and last minute obligations, but she still had the time of her life and enjoyed every minute of her party!  And we're so glad she did - it was absolutely adorable!  (It was hard looking through all of the pictures trying to decide which ones to post because they all turned out good and everything was just TOO cute!)

12 Months Old!

Happy FIRST birthday to the most stunningly beautiful little girl in the world!!!!














It seems, truly, like only yesterday that we were here.  Overjoyed to meet her and to feel the wonderful completeness of our family.




She is silly, sassy, crazy, happy, LOUD, easy, contented, friendly, independent, strong and a whole lot of other things that make her one incredible little girl.  Can NOT imagine life without her and out of all the little girls in the world, we feel blessed and LUCKY we get to have HER!  :)
