First Birthday Party

We had Emma's First Birthday party today, Sunday, October 5th. We had almost 40 people there. It was great to see everyone and be able to spend some time together.

This is a frame that I made for Emma. It is for every month of her first year of life. My Dad and Stepmom bought it for us before Emma was born. It turned out to be a really good idea.

Here's the pretty birthday girl in her birthday outfit. Her shirt says Baby's First Birthday.


Here are just some shots of some of the people that were at the party.

My Grandpa's hamburger/hot dog combo???

This is the cake that Emma got to destroy. As you will see below she did a fairly good job of it.

Daddy helped a little!

She rubbed it all in her eye. I had to put her in the bath to clean her off and she had a total fit. She must have enjoyed being covered in sugar.

Opening presents...she got a lot of really good stuff today.



Thanks to everyone who came and made this day really special. I know Emma will never remember it, but Doug and I will.
