Happy Birthday Emma!

We had Emma's ladybug birthday party this past Sunday! It's so hard to believe that she is already ONE!! Our baby is getting so big - she's walking all over the house, eating all kinds of new foods every day, repeating tons of sounds and some words ("boo," "hi," "wow," etc), loves playing peekaboo (she hides and peeks out at you and laughs and then hides again), she loves giving high fives and clapping when Drew makes a basket, she loves her swimming class, she carries babydolls and stuffed animals around while hugging them and saying "awww," and she smiles and laughs at anyone that looks her way! I think she, Olivia and Drew had a great time at the birthday party. Here's the ladybug cake that Emma won at the Halloween costume contest last year - SO CUTE!



And here's the (homemade!) ladybug pinata!

We grilled out and enjoyed the awesome weather and our new table!

After we ate, it was pinata time! Sherry showed Olivia the proper technique.

Drew took this very seriously! Especially when the candy started coming out!

Here's everyone cheering on the little ones.



And a video of the action.




Then it was off to the Easter egg hunt. Emma started to get over her fear of walking in the grass and moved around a little.
She even knew what to do with the eggs!



Then the kids took a break from scarfing down the candy in the eggs for a quick picture.


Then Chad and the kids rolled down the hill. HAHA!






Family picture time!





Then Emma got to enjoy...CAKE!! I don't know that she tasted the actual cake, but she sure enjoyed the red frosting! After this, she went straight to the bath!











After ALL that plus presents, Emma was ready for a nap! And the rest of us got to sit outside and enjoy the weather (low 70s and sunny) and play a little baseball, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, etc. It was a great day!!
