It's My Party and I'll be Dainty if I want to...

It seems like just mere days ago that God brought this incredible little person into our lives. It's funny to think, at first, that I thought I might have a hard time loving her as much as my sweet Aiden. It's funny how much love one person's heart is capable of. I blinked, she's one, and I'm amazed at the blessings God has brought us through her. What an incredible gift.
Okay. Enough of the serious/cheesy stuff. Check out the blur on that invite. No stalkers, please.
We celebrated the occasion with a little shindig at our place. A few family and Emerson's friends-but can I start by showing off our cake? If there's anyone in Montgomery in need of a fabo cake lady, I have found her. Homemade from scratch and to die for...this woman has got some skills. The cake was uhhh a bit large, {I could have folded Emmy up and stuck her inside so she could pull of a Marilyn Monroe} And if anyone wants to know how much I paid for this mug-just ask-(it's unbelievable, if you know anything about cake pricing!)
Check out the digs. The shirt was made by Abbie, a friend of mine who is getting up and started with monogramming and appliques. I thought she did a fabulous job! We trade services a lot...Again, Montgomery-need a monogramming chick-this is your gal!
Ahh the mass chaos of opening gifts with little ones...
Ummmm are you guys sure this is all for me?
I am a "dainty" girl {Mrs. Jamey calls me that, and Mommy thinks she's right...Mommy was a little disappointed I didn't show my true pigfest colors that day...}
After all our wonderful guests left {ALL of whom offered to clean up, and some who read my blog tried to take off their shoes (oops)} Jamin and I could be found while the babes were sleeping at the after party. Cleaning up the carnage-this was half of it. Glad the kiddies had a blast! I'm kinda glad its over. SHEW!

Happy first birthday Emerson! I LOVE the pictures! Pure joy and happiness!
It looks like yall had fun. I hate we missed it. That was a massive cake that Emmy got. I bet she thought she was in heaven. Thanks for the plug on the shirt. :)
It was fun! Thanks for the invite! The cake was gorgeous and yummy...
I have to say the picture does not quite do the playroom justice....seemed like there was no square inch of carpet shining through last time I looked.
Happy Birthday Emerson!! Love your outfit!!!
The cake looks even better than I thought it would! Amazing! Glad the party went well - have you recovered?
It's so neat to see Emerson go from a newborn to one year old in these pictures. She was a very cute birthday girl!
Everything looks great! The cake is beautiful!!! And I love her shirt!! Sorry I couldn't be there.
And the cake tasted awesome too! :) Poor Emerson had to fight her way through the fondant to get to the good stuff!
Awe, these pictures make me want to cry. We thought about yall all afternoon.
Happy first birthday, Emerson! I love you!
Happy birthday, Emerson! Such a beautiful girl!
I was wondering who made that shirt! Now I have a go-to person. :-)
These are great pics!!
What a beautiful birthday girl! About the mess... that's what our playroom looks like EVERYDAY!
Happy birthday to a precious little gal!
(I am so stealing her name if we ever have a little girl.....)
GREAT cake!~ Wow! Fondant is something I really want to play with! But I'm not that brave yet. It all looks so pretty, love the shirt & skirt and of course the giant flower on her head! I would have loved those when Briana was little and didn't have much hair. Lovely! :)
