What a good lil' momma!

It's crazy to me how much children learn in such a short amount of time. She just turned 13 months and amazes me every with the new things she does!

Where A Kid Can Be A Kid!

Emily had her first Chuck E Cheese experience last Sunday. Steve said we needed to buy her a body condom before we went because of all the germs. I think I used a whole bottle of hand sanitizer! She didn't like Chuck E at first, but then got use to him and was kissing his feet. Literally, I would say, "Emmy give him a kiss" and she would lean down and kiss his feet. It was so cute!

Here she is holding on to her Daddy for dear life!

Uh Oh!!

Someone is getting too big for her britches!

Birthday Party {part 2}

The cupcake! Holly's idea, of course. We got a piece of plywood, outlined the cupcake, painted it and then cut the hole for the cherry!

Emily is my cherry on top! She's the best!


The spread! We had mini sandwiches, dips and chips, potato salad, pasta salad, cheese and crackers and fruit. Notice the handmade ribbon garland that Holly worked on during her lunch hour at work.

Cupcake bar. Holly made mini cupcakes. We bought white spray icing and then had different colored sugar and sprinkles for the kids to decorate.

The carnation cupcakes. So cute! I got little terra cotta pots, put floral foam inside and arranged 4-5 carnations, then put the candle in the middle.

The cake! I found what I had wanted on pinkcakebox.com. They have beautiful cakes. I took the picture to Chuck's and they did a wonderful job. I looks just like the picture!

The cupcake tower. It was just a plain cupcake tower and Holly hot clued a pink tutu and boa to the bottom. Then, spray painted a "1" pink and added a cupcake to the side for the top.

These were the favor bags with the cute personalized stickers I bought. They say "Thank you for making Emily's 1st Birthday so sweet".

What was in the favor bags:

*Water with a piece of cupcake paper wrapped around the top

*Cupcake tattos

*Cupcake kalediscopes

* Cupcake Rice Crispy

*Cupcake bubbles

Rice Crispy cupcakes that Holly made. She cut them out with a cupcake cookie cutter, dipped then in white chocolate, put sprinkles and a red m&m on top.

Mini Reese's cupcakes! Holly put them on lollipop sticks and used a can of the white spray icing, then put sprinkle and a mini m&m on top. Too bad she left them in the truck for just a minute and they all melted. They were my fav!
