Playing

Emma got a ball pit for her birthday.  She's so good about playing on her own anyway, but found her playing all by herself this morning......

New Chairs

Emma got a new Monsters Inc. chair for her birthday and Carmen asked for one of her own.... we used a little bribery and told her if she had 5 days of being dry at night we would get her one of her own.  Low and behold...... 5 nights later and she was rewarded :-)

P.S. This is how pictures go in our house right now......

Messy Girl

We would never be complete if we didn't have at least one messy spaghetti picture of Emma ;-)

Reading with Daddy

Caught Daddy and the Girls reading the other night before bedtime :-)  (I love these moments!)

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY EMMA!!!!

Today is Emma's First Birthday!

So hard to believe this has already been a year ago! 

Emma  - I can't believe you are already 1!  This past year has flown by.   You continue to amaze us with you development!  Each and everyday is something new with you.  Whether its dancing, running,  climbing on the couch or just plain keeping up with your sister.   You keep us on our toes!  

You are one of the craziest, happy, easy going, funny little girls!   Mommy and Daddy Love you to the Moon and back!   We can't wait to see what the next year brings!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY SWEET GIRL!  

MANY, MANY MORE!

Emma's Birthday Party

Warning:  this is a picture overload ahead.....

This past weekend we had all our family over to celebrate Emma's upcoming first birthday!  Emma was spoiled with some very nice toys/clothes/etc.   We thoroughly enjoyed all the company.

Emma wasn't too fond of the smash cake, but we had to do it anyway :-)

We ordered strawberry cupcakes and red velvet cupcakes for everyone else.   I think we got an overwhelming yeah for some good cupcakes :-)

Thanks to everyone that came!  We are so blessed with such loving family!

Thanks Christina for taking pictures for me (I wouldn't have about half as many if I were to have taken them by myself.) And Thanks Mom for writing down the gifts.
