Emery's 1st Birthday

Our little Miss Emery turned one year old in June. What a milestone! I feel like this year has gone by so incredibly fast, I don't know where the time has gone! Miss E has been such a light in all of our lives and we are thankful to have her in our family. What a joy she is! She is hilariously funny, has such a strong personality, and loves to play and keep up with her brothers.
We had the house all packed up and ready to move for her birthday, so we just did a little party with close family, let her eat some cake, and called it good. I hope when she looks back she isn't disappointed....but unfortunately we couldn't do much else at the time. :) She seemed to enjoy the cake though!! I made a Minnie Mouse cake for her, and cupcakes for others, and let her go at it. She was a little confused at first, but then went to town on that cake! It was adorable. She ended up laughing the whole time and occasionally looking at me like "am I really allowed to do this mom?" It was pretty adorable. A few presents, some yummy cake, and lots of laughs....it ended up as a great day. 
At her first birthday she was busy charming everyone around her, yet still very Mommy oriented. Emery loves to play outside, try to run after her brothers, eat all by herself with her hands, go up and down the stairs over and over again, and read books. She loves to pick out a book, walk backwards and flop herself down in someone's lap, and start turning pages furiously. Pretty darn cute. :) We love this little girl!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Miss E!!! We love you!!!!!!
