I had been planning Emily birthday party for a couple of months. I had a nice list of people to invite, several cute options of invitations, some ideas from the Internet on "first birthday" decorating themes, etc. I went with a polka-dot, not too specific theme and basically tried to make the decor as colorful as possible. Emily had a great time hanging out with her baby buddies, and the adults had a good time chowing down on tons of food and getting some "adult conversation" time in too!
Goody bags for Emily's friends
Bottled water for our birthday party guests. See those labels I made around the bottles? Look closer...
Yes, they have Emily's picture! Many bored nights were spent in front of the computer in preparation for this party...
Funfetti and chocolate cupcakes with "1" decorations on them!
Cousin Stephanie drove all the way from Hampton for the party! My kids had a great time seeing their cousins Alexandria and Gavin.
Baby Justin amazed us with his laid back attitude and full head of hair! Only 8 months old and already 2 haircuts behind him!
Cousin Brooklyn hanging out with Grandma Peggy
Caiden had a few admirers at the party, especially Ms. Tracy. We were sure he was smuggling out my valuables in those cheeks!
I don't know how Jen got stuck with this job, but she became the "baby whisperer". A half dozen or so kids surrounded her, climbed on her, or chewed on her for a good fifteen minutes!
Justin and Brooklyn
Jack and Lily prove that nothing is more fun than toys that belong to someone else!
Ryder had us all laughing as he growled on command!
Happy birthday to you!
Yummy! Those cheeks are stuffed with sugary goodness!
Opening presents....the tissue paper was almost as good as the real present!
Uncle John and Aunt Mary found a book called "Emily's Day" and had to buy it!
A laptop and two cellphones for Emily....she owns more technology than me!
"Blowing kisses" to her audience--which really consisted of smacking herself in the mouth and spraying spit at everyone in the cheap seats.

No surprise here--Cousin Steph hooked Emily up with all the latest fashion trends, including jean leggings!
