Emily's 1st Birthday

Emily turns 1, February 11, 2011! We celebrating on the 12th just the day after her actual birthday! Her strawberry dress worked perfectly for the theme of the party...in honor of her Gramma Hogan! Mom would have loved the dress, shoes and of course the cake! All of the plate s and decorations were brought straight from Gramma's extensive stash back at Grandpa's house. Emily was just a joy! We had a great turn out for the party and
all the family was able to attend! We attended one of Adam's basketball games before the party and then came back for food, fun, & presents! Everyone brought a book for Emily to start her own library of books. It was neat to see all the variety of new and used books friends and family brought! Adam was a big helper when it was time to open presents! Check out the video of everyone singing Happy Birthday to Emily...the ending is classic!! A quick pose with Gram after opening some presents!
