"1"

It's a monumental day here in Crazyland. Today is Emily's First Birthday! We did not have a "proper" party. We will be having a combined party since her sister's birthday is in 3 weeks. But we could not let this day pass without some type of celebration. So the regular Tuesday night dinner girls and I had a great time watching an angelic little face become smeared and covered with frosting and sprinkles. We sang and giggled and generally enjoyed the event. Here are a few highlights. Shooting Star! A special cake for my special girl. The cool little star shaped cupcake cups from Reynolds were a special find for tonight's shindig. I hadn't seen these before, but I will look for them more often I assure you! They were neat-o. There is our feature performer now! You can't see that she is sporting 3 new teeth. She is finally getting teeth. I'm worried they are all going to spring forth at once! Motrin is my best friend! Allison was close at hand to "supervise" and lend technical assistance as needed. Emily didn't seem to need much help though! She started off slowly, a little tenatively. But she did really get into it after a few handfuls :) The still pictures are nice, but I think this really captures the moment much better!
