The Big Party

We celebrated Emory's birthday with family and friends last weekend. The weather was a little warm (no surprise), but other than that, we had a wonderful time. We enjoyed marking such a special ocassion with many of the people that made her first year so special.

the cake...

the birthday girl (and her grandmama)...

a shy birthday girl while everyone is singing Happy Birthday...
we made sure to give her her very own "splatter cake"...
which she wanted nothing to do with!!

She even cried!

the backyard games...

the goody bags...

the guests...
crazy Uncle John stealing the kids' bubbles...
the gifts, which cheered the crying birthday girl right up!

Her favorite by far was the musical card! She is still playing with it!

By the end of the party Emory was getting crazy...naked and sippin' on Daddy's beer bottle!
Thanks to all who helped make her first birthday one to remember!
