What a fun birthday little Emma had. We had a little party for her with immediate family and Emma's neighborhood friends just at our condo in the front courtyard area. I think it was a pretty good success!! I will explain little highlights throughout the party in the pictures below.
In the morning of her birthday I took pictures of her in her cute little birthday out fit and tutu. I made her a party hat and she REFUSED to wear the thing, ripped it right off her head. Little stinker. But she was so darling.
We had a little practice run of a cupcake after lunch. It took her a while to warm up to it, but ended up enjoying every bite. She was in heaven. We thought, "man, she's going to LOVE her real birthday cupcake tonight that is three times the size the normal one."
Here are the table displays
I made a 'first year' book of Emma and had people sign the back of her book. It turned out pretty good I think. 
I made little birthday hats for her little neighbor friends and her little baby cousin Lucy.
Here are Ben and Ava. Ben didn't really care to wear his hat, Ava didn't seem to mind. Aren't these munchkins so cute?
lots and lots of cupcakes for everyone
Here's the stupendous cake that Derek worked long and hard on with the help of his mom who frosted it....didn't it turn out SO great? Way to go babe.
family and friends
Too cute. Here's Emma and her cute friends Brooke, Ava, and Ben. 
Here's Emma's little cousin Lucy. Emma loves her cousin so much. So much that she's ready to rip that hat right off her head... she succeeded.
We couldn't get the candle to stay lit, but she looks pretty interested right?
Yeah, not so much. She didn't want anything to do with that big cupcake. We were so bummed, because judging the way she was eating her small cupcake earlier that day, we thought she would be in hog heaven. 
Before giving up, we ended up giving her one of the small cupcakes then she was VERY happy again. I think she was just intimidated by the size of the sweet goodness....funny little munchkin.
mmm....Brooke loves her cupcake
YES!!! Emma handled wearing her party hat for about 20 minutes while opening presents.
Uncle Dennen wearing her tutu on his head and playing with her. What a great Uncle.
Here's Brooke pushing Emma in her toy that Oma, Opa, Aunt Britta, and Uncle Dylan gave her. She LOVES it!! Thanks guys.
Here are some pics of Emma's mini album I made for her. 
What a FUN day we had to celebrate your 1st BIRTHDAY Emma. We ALL love you so much!!

So adorable Mandy. You are so, so, talented. I wish I had even a portion of that talent. That mini album I thought was especially cute. And your little girl is just too adorable for words!
Thanks for inviting us! You guys did such a great job with that party. Your little Emma was adorable.
Hi Mandy this is Dashas' sister. Just found your blog and was looking through it and realized that my daughter wore almost the exact same outfit to her birthday party, isn't that funny? :) Emma is such a beautiful little girl, hope she had fun at her birthday like Cadence did.
