It was a fabulous party on Saturday even though it was cloudy and a bit rainy. My parents came up on Friday and got to visit with the birthday girl. They were so amazed by how much Emily's changed. Saturday morning Jon and I were busy with last minute clean up and grocery store trip. Thank goodness my mom and dad came early because they really helped us a lot. Anthony, Daneen and Isabella were able to come despite some car trouble along the way from Katy. We got the house clean and set up for the party. Meanwhile Emily entertained us all with her babbling and playing with cousin Isabella. Finally she took a nap. We had a full house of friends and family. Jon's folks were able to make it so that was really nice.
Emily was a little overwhelmed with everyone but then she quickly got used to the idea. When we did the cake, she did not like all the attention and fussed a little bit in her high chair. After a little while she picked at her smash cake and tasted some frosting and was ok.
Emily received lots of clothes and toys as gifts. It was fun opening all the presents. She kind of lost interest after the second gift and started playing with her other toys. We had lots of food and cake left over. Oh our menu included assorted dips with crackers and veggies, chips and queso, Papa Johns pizzas, a white cake and a chocolate cake, gummy bears and animal crackers, sodas and beer (for the adults ofcourse!).
It was a long day and all three of us were very tired at the end. But we had a great time and now our little baby is one year old.
