Emmi's 1st Birthday

I really think the princess theme was fitting for Miss Emmi. She is a bit of a drama queen already. She can easily be brought to tears with a stern no, and often sits down and puts her head to the ground crying when you take something away from her. So very different from her big sister Nikki.

Honestly, this birthday was a bit sad for me. It is hard to believe that she is already a year old...almost 13 months by the time I get around to posting this message(her birthday party was December 1st.). I guess I am sad because she is my last and she is no longer a baby. Not that I want another baby...no, no, no, but it is sad to think that my kids will never be this little again. Sorry for getting sappy on you.

Despite Mommy being a bit sad, Miss Emmi was in all her glory on her big day. We weren't sure how she was going to do with a house full of people, but she was really into it and did great! She seems to be such a people person.











With a little help, she opened her own presents. She was more interested in the paper that she was ripping off than the present itself, except when she got to the Chicken Elmo. One of the kids made it sing and dance, then her little face lit up with the biggest grin.





Then there was the cute little cake that her Daddy made for her. Once she figured out that it was sweet she busily got to work on it. We also got an ice cream cake to share with everyone else who came to share her special day.













After everything was said and done, Miss Emmi got a bath to remove the cake and spent the rest of the evening hanging out in her jammies! It was a birthday to remember!
