ONE YEAR OLD!!!!

Hip hip hooray! Emily is one today! We have a fun day planned for her- I took the day off from work and Paul is post-call so he’ll be home around lunchtime. We’re taking her to a bakery to pick out her very first cupcake and we’ll let her eat it this afternoon. Here’s a synopsis of Emily’s big day:



It started out with a yummy breakfast, followed by some playtime:



Then Daddy came home and he took a nap while Mommy and Emily went to the store to pick up PARTY supplies for Saturday!

When Daddy woke up we drove to the bakery for Emily to pick out her cupcake. However, she (who had refused to nap ALL DAY LONG) fell asleep in the car, so Mommy had to go in and pick out the cupcake while Daddy stayed in the car with Sleeping Beauty. Bummer!! I had really wanted some pics in the bakery but what can ya do?

We took Emmy out for birthday dinner (no, we didn’t tell the waitress it was her birthday for fear of some crazy song by the waitstaff that might scare her!) When we got home, it was CUPCAKE TIME!



At first she started gently touching it:



But it quickly turned into my worst nightmare....dirty hands!



Finally we cleaned her up and got her ready for bed (in her hippo princess jammies, no less!) A quick nighttime hug from Mommy and Daddy, a few jumps in the bed, and she was out. Good night, one year old!! :)





(Yes, I had been crying. I had just read her Love You Forever by Robert Munsch, the same book we read to her the night we brought her home from the hospital...major tears ensued!!!)
