I don't know where the last 12 months went or how it's possible, but our little baby turned one last week.We celebrated a few times. First on her actual birthday. She got cake a new baby doll at daycare. From Denny and me, she got a pink T-ball set and pink telephone (rotary style).
On Sunday, we had a bigger party with family. She got a lot of toys. Our living room looked like a toy st
ore before I finally got around to finding a place for everything.
She is one very loved little girl! I'm writing down her toys here for memory sake.
She loves cake, loves shoes and apparently knows exactly how to wear a purse. Her favorite gift was Mickey Mouse. It was also the first thing she opened. She had zero interest in opening any of the other presents after that.
She wore a tutu and I was able to get some video of her shooting the basketball in her tutu. Will she be an athlete or a ballerina?? Who knows ... probably neither. I really don't care as long as she grows up to be happy and feel love.

I think, in t
otal, Emma had fewer meltdowns than I did throughout the day, which is always good. You see, I made the cakes. I thought I would try to save some money, but now I know that that $20 would have been well spent. They turned out just fine, but I tend to overreact and stress and that's all so silly. Oh well. It certainly tasted good and Jenny said she never noticed me flipping out or anything.

Emma has a great support system that reaches far beyond the grasps of Denny and me. I'd say we're all pretty blessed!
