Birthday!

Emily had her first birthday party last weekend, and it was a lot of fun!

While I got everything ready for everyone to come over and finished making the refreshments, Ken got to put together the giraffe we got for her.

We had cake and ice cream and punch for everyone who came to the party, and Emily got her very own little cake. She wasn't too sure what to do with it at first - but once her Daddy told her it was food, she dug right in!

After she finished her cake (she ended up eating - or smearing - about half of it) Ken dumped her in the bathtub with all her clothes on! After we got her cleaned up, she got to put on one of the pretty new outfits that Aunt Meaghan sent her, and we partied on.

(Nana Jo is afraid Emily's going to pop the balloon!)

All in all, I think everybody had a good time - especially the kids. I know Emily had fun! She got lots and lots of pretty new clothes, and a bunch of toys, and even a big red toybox to put them all in (thanks, Jim & Ruby!)

It's a good thing we have a whole year before the next birthday party - I don't think we could stand to have so much fun any more often than that!!
