SHE IS O-N-E!

Yesterday she turned ONE YEAR OLD.......it seems impossible!!!
But it is not. Because she really turned one.

Sunday was her party.
It was cRazY!!!
But fun!
Some parts were a little too much for her. After all she is only ONE.

Obviously she liked it. In fact she really tore into it and we had to take it away from her because she more than exceeded what amount of sugar a one year old is probably supposed to have. But she thought it was great!!!

Here is what her cakes looked like before they were dismantled! Triple Chocolate M&M on the left and rainbow on the right. Even though you can't tell it was rainbow.  It looked pretty awesome once it was cut into.  No picture of that though. Sorry.

Some Lemonade!

Kids' party favors

Here is Emery with her babysitter.  She Luuuuvvvves her Misty!

She had A LOT of help opening presents. Can you tell?!!! She freaked out shortly in to it and I ended up opening them for her with the assistance of these many small children!

Her big gift! From Mom & Dad and both sets of Grandparents. It's Pottery Barn's Anywhere Chair. And that's a slipcover.......so it's washable. Oh Yeah!

 

We also served a meal at her party.

BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad, watermelon & cantaloupe, veggies

Then last night on her actual birthday we made a trip to good ole DQ to celebrate!

 And then she got in some more play time on her chair when we got home.  She has plenty of years to grow with this thing for sure!

I think she had a pretty darn good first birthday.
She definitely did not lack for any attention......at all

She shares her birthday with her Aunt Ann (Dana's sister) and now she shares it with two more family members! Kris and Amber had their twin boys Colton and Easton yesterday morning!!! So now she has cousins with the same birthday too.

We Love you so much Miss Emery Grace. Can't imagine our family with out you. You are so sweet and beautiful. You are simply a gift from God with out a doubt.
