Dear Emme,
Happy 1st birthday, little sis! It's been a fun year, hasn't it?! Here's how we celebrated your big day...
In Mom and Dad's Sunday school class, 12 babies/kids have April & May birthdays, so we had one giant birthday bash! Four of you gals were all turning one (you - your birthday buddy, Rebecca - and twins Allison and Alexis), so the three moms got together and made matching tutus and bows. Props to Cody, the lone guy turning one, for putting up with you girls in all your glory!
Then it was on to your very own party at home!
{Notice that I also received gifts on your birthday. I kept telling everyone it was my birthday, too, and apparently my plan worked!}
The guys played ball out back...
...while the girls got lunch ready in the kitchen...
Then came the fun part, Em...
PRESENTS!
We saved the yummy strawberry cupcake cake for last!
You weren't sure if you were okay with it at first...
...but eventually you dug in and decided it was pretty tasty!
I have to admit I'm pretty exhausted from all of the birthday celebrations, but it was all definitely worth it! We have a lot of fun ahead of us, girl, so get ready ~ Your second year will be even better than your first!
Love you like cupcakes,
Jude
