Birthday Fun: Part 3

The big finale of the birthday was presents and cake, of course! Emme has come a long way in figuring out how to get those gifts open! We put in some time at ‘paper-tearing’ camp this summer and all of those ripped-up magazines were worth it! I plan on spending more time practicing cake decorating because even after making the 3rd cake of the birthday season, the vision didn’t quite come through. I blame all of those cake-baking reality shows that make it look so easy! Even though it looked amateur, Emerson was thrilled to get cake, frosting, strawberries and blueberries all in one shot!...

Birthday Countdown

Emerson had her 1 year photos taken yesterday! We had a blast — luckily it was a very photogenic day. She smiled pretty and I’m excited to unveil the photos… next weekend! Trust me, they’re wonderful. Until then, here she is eating toast and lasagna. I wish I could say she had as much fun smashing her cake at the photo shoot as she did last night eating dinner....
