Emma's 1st Birthday Party

I had so much fun planning Emma's first birthday and also playing around with my new Cricut. Emma's birthday party was Minnie Mouse themed. Greg was in charge of beer and balloons and I handled the rest of the decorations.

Beverages: pink lemonade, Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite Zero, red & white wine, beer.
Food: Fruit tray, vegetables tray, Chick-fil-a nugget tray, m&m, little weenies, cheese & crackers. (I'm so glad that we kept the food simple.)

Emma had a fun time playing in her playroom with the rest of the children. We never did a group shot but will have to remember to do this next year. She did enjoy her smash cake and was surprisingly more dainty than I expected. She would dip her fingers into the icing and slowly lick her fingers. We did decide to open up presents with guests and it helped that Emma had a lot of gift bags to open instead of wrapping paper. She knew how to get into the bags. Emma received so many beautiful clothes, both casual and dressy, and also some fun toys. I don't think Emma was every really overwhelmed with all the guests, although she was probably very confused. All in all, a fantastic 1st birthday for Emma!
