Birthday Weekend...

Today was Emma's first birthday so we celebrated with all the family.  My favorite thing is when all my children are in one place at one time...so watching all the grandchildren play is just icing on the cake...birthday cake!!

Whoo's birthday is it?  Emma's first birthday!!
The invitation came a few weeks ago and the theme was "Guess whoo's birthday it is?"  Owls were special guests and Emma's mother found lots of cute things to go with this idea! 
Attendees...Bryden, Cooper and Aunt Joni
























Emma enjoyed her cake and without much prompting, dug in and had a ball!!
...with her cake!

Aunt Jamie's birthday too!
 This weekend is Lori's sister Jamie's Birthday too...so we celebrated that as well!
-And Grandpa Jim's birthday!!
AND it is Grandpa Jim's birthday Monday!  My great friend Kathy at Whispering Pine's 's birthday is also this weekend and she missed her own party! (supposed to have been in Michigan...too much snow!)

Hi Donna Sweetie...
I always wait for you to come. I know you will my precious friend. I am so tickled you loved this post. We are all God's lambs, and I so love them.

I love Emma's little face as she dug into the cake. Was that not just the sweetest photo ever? She is beautiful sweet one. Just beautiful.

Looks like you all have a lot of birthdays in February. WOW. Lots and lots of cake celebrating going on over there in Starkey Hollow. I love it. I hope you ate some for me. Being an insulin diabetic I have given up the sweets (except for fruit) and the carbs. I eat protein and vegetables. No breads, no pastas, no rice, no potatoes. It's working too.

Well sweet one, thanks for stopping by, as I so love it when you do. Have a glorious Sunday. I hope you are off. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

What a great time with all the kiddos! I love Emma's b-day hat! The profile pic of Cooper made me take a second glance because for the first time he looked alot like Tim.. Usually I think he looks more like Joni...Glad everyone had fun...hmmmm, can I put my face in a cake?

Emma is a beautiful little birthday girl. Those eyes! Your birthday celebrations look like ours: fun and slightly chaotic. Emphasis on FUN. I think Yaya spoke for all of us: we'd all like to put our face in some cake.

There's nothing as special as the first birthday--so much anticipation for the days ahead, and so much fun putting that first cake right in front of their excited little eyes. And then watching what happens.....

Can't beat it!

So much wonderful celebration! A perfect way to end the winter, I think. Emma is as cute as they come, and so is Cooper.

What darling children! And so many birthdays this weekend!! That Emma has such beautiful eyes. Thay all look like they were having loads of fun.

It was interesting to know that Tim's wife's name is Joni. I went by that nickname all through High School and for quite a long time after. I still have one or two friends that call me Joni. It came from my last name being Johnson.
