Party for E!

Emry's party was a success! Family traveled from far and friends from near to help celebrate. She was semi-interested in opening her gifts so I had to make up for her lack of enthusiasm (evident in the pictures) and she did pretty well with her smash cake. It took some coaxing but she finally dug in and wore the frosting. Everyone else enjoyed a cupcake made by yours truly. The zebra/hot pink theme accidentally evolved from the birthday outfit I ordered at Payton's Closet on the Liberty Square. I happened to find Zebra cupcake liners, napkins, and streamers so that was that. Steve made a sweet video with still shots and video clips from her first year. Several teary eyes were in the house during its debut. A HUGE thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to make this special for her. We appreciate your love and generosity. Emry has no idea how many people love her. I can't wait to show her the video/photos from this celebration so she can see.
