Emory's First Birthday

This was Emory's first birthday! I'm a little late on posting it but here we are. She wasn't quite as messy as I thought or hoped she would have been. She just kind of picked at the chocolate. Tyler decided to push her hands in the cake and she started freaking out cause she hates stuff stuck to her fingers (like tape). It was hilarious!

She finally started to get into it, and then it just got messy. She was so cute to watch! It was hard to find room in our little house because both sides of our family came, like EVERYONE. It was very fun and exciting. She still didnt know what was going on and why everyone was trying to get her atttention.

We had a surprise visit from Santa Claus! But as you can see it didn't go so well. She is terrrified of him! We tried to get a picture as fast as we could but she was pissed when we finally did. Hah, it was so funny. But now we know not to torment her cause we dont want to ruin it for it for her. Now when she sees old men with white hair and beards she will not let them hold her. So hopefully by next year she will have forgotten all about it. We had all the other nieces and nephews sit on santa's lap and tell him what they wanted. It was such a fun little birthday!

And last but not least... Present time! She got quite a bit of toys. She wasnt much of an opener.. she hasn't quite gotten the opening the wrapping paper yet. But she loves all her toys and it was fun to watch her see new things that were for her. She's growing up so fast and has such a personality!!
