This weekend we celebrated a very special day - Emma's first birthday!! It was a joyous occasion filled with food, fun, and family. We celebrated our little miracle and marveled at what a journey this past year has been. We are so grateful for everyone that has supported us during such a challenging time, and shared in our happiness as Emma has continued to grow and thrive. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so very thankful for everyone that has been there for us, near and far.
Now for some pictures!
Emma almost floated away before her party!
She got changed out of her jammies and into her pretty party dress and bow and waited for her special guests.
Aunt Jen!
Cousin G!
Memere!
Grandpa!
Grandma and Grandpa!
And lots of other special guests too.
Emma was very spoiled by everyone's generosity. She is a very lucky girl!
Her sweet new wagon can be taken down laminate hallways, through the woods, or even put on skis to go ice fishing!
We had one cake for big kids...
... and one for a little kid!
Time to blow out the candle! Make a wish, Emma!
She dug in and had a ball.
Do I have frosting on my face?
Emma changed into some clean clothes and took another spin around the kitchen with Grandpa before we had to say farewell to our guests.
Well, it is hard to believe it has been a whole year. Time has flown by and it feels like just yesterday she joined us, but we can't remember what life was like without her. She is the light of our lives and the joy of our days and we are so blessed to call her ours. We love you, Emma!
Love,
Mom & Dad
