Happy 1st Birthday to Emma!

Emma is having a wonderful day today. Unfortunately, Kris had to go to Michigan for the day so he won't be home tonight. He made sure to wait around until she woke up this morning to tell her Happy Birthday (and of course she slept in). For us, we went to the gym, took two naps (Emma not me), played inside and outside. Once Emma gets up from her nap and Ryan gets home from school, we'll be heading out to do some shopping, go out to dinner and play at the mall.

We had a great party for her on Saturday. Some of our friends came over as well as my parents, sister and her friend. We had hot dogs and other picnic stuff. The kids played and ate while the adults talked. I made a cupcake cake in the shape of a #1 for the kids and made a brownie mousse trifle for the adults, which everyone said was wonderful. We opened presents and just had a great time.

Emma got some great new toys. We got her a play house for outside, which she loves - as does Ryan. The clothes she received are so cute, I can't wait to put her in them! She's enjoying playing with all the toys.

We were so happy to have our family out here and wish that Grammie could have made it. Unfortunately, she had a fall at home a few days before she was scheduled to fly out here, that caused her to break her arm and require surgery. She is home and resting now, but we missed her.
