Emma's 1st Birthday Party!! (In Abilene)

We had Emma's 1st birthday party last night (Friday, 10/12) at MiMi & Pops' house in Abilene for all of our Abilene family & friends! Next weekend we are having a party at our house in Lubbock for our Lubbock family & friends.
Pops was our photographer for the party, and Daddy was the videographer. I'll have to post some videos later though :)

The birthday girl's table! :)
The book is a photo book of all her pictures from her 1 year old photo shoot, and we had everyone sign the back of it so we have a record of who was at her 1st birthday bash!!


Emma with Mommy & Daddy






We ordered 2 dozen cupcakes, and then made a few extras just in case we ran out. These were the cupcakes at the end of the party!




The crowd of partiers ;)

Josiah came!! They were so cute together :)





And she's off! :P




Here comes MiMi with the Birthday Princess's throne!! :)


Emma was very excited about finally getting her chair she has been wanting for so long! MiMi & Pops decided they would get it for her birthday present when she found it a couple of months ago at Kids' Village :)





Opening presents


Emma was so excited! She clapped after she opened each present :)





She got a doll, a puppy, and some socks from Great-Grandma & Great-Grandpa Gragg


Emma got very good at sending that tissue paper flying! :)


Yay!! More toys!





Memaw & Papaw got her "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" board book and a caterpillar stuffed animal


More flying tissue paper



Emma got a princess puzzle and "Snuggle Puppy" board book from Allison, Judd, & Josiah


She got excited about the Minnie Mouse bag!



Great Uncle Bill got her Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Daisy Duck, & Donald Duck stuffed animals



Uncle Will got her a musical tea set


Emma got a pretty dress and leggings, and a flash onesie from Big G (and matching flash t-shirts for Mommy & Daddy too!)



Lana gave Emma a cute red, gray, & black outfit with some red shoes for Texas Tech, and some keys that light up & make noise




Great Uncle Kenneth, Great Aunt Penny, & Cousins Courtney, Rhett, & Cody gave her a big board book of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" board book, a cute little outfit, and her very first purse with lots of goodies inside (a pink cell phone, lipstick, a mirror, some keys, and a wallet)




A brief intermission while the last few presents were brought in. Emma had fun checking out the toys she had already opened while she was waiting!



Opening her present from Beth Young, and Kayla & Lily Crockett! It was a very cute outfit and bow, and a cloth book called "Buzzing Through" like one Lily had gotten at her shower and Emma had loved!


Playing with her cell phone and cloth book



Mommy & Daddy got Emma a sand castle stuffed animal play set for her to open at this party. She's getting her big present from us on her actual birthday this coming Wednesday :)


Grandmommy & Granddaddy got Emma a Minnie Mouse car!











Granddaddy sketched a picture of Emma for us too!


Big G got Emma a rocking horse! 


It's a big one, so she will be able to use it for quite a few years to come!




Mommy had to try it out too :P


Cake time!








I think the black icing looks like a mustache! Haha :)














Drink break with Big G


Emma did not put on the best show with her cake...She really didn't make that big of a mess at all! We were shocked, and a bit disappointed :)







The party goers again





Great Uncle Bill & Uncle Will

Opening the card from Great Grandma Morris! She sent Emma 1 gold $1 coin since she's one!



The Smiths (Can you tell Pops thought Josiah was really cute? He took tons of pictures of him :) )


Josiah got an inflatable monkey for his party favor






Saying goodbye to Josiah





Josiah even gave Emma a few kisses on the cheek! By the time we got a camera over there though, all we got was him kissing her on the shoulder :)


Emma playing with Daddy and her new toys


Drinking more strawberry lemonade...Emma had never had lemonade before, but she LOVED it! She drank the entire cup before the night was over!





 Emma had such a wonderful time at her 1st birthday party! Thanks to every who came and made it so special for her :) She was hyped up on sugar and lemonade until about 11:00 last night, and then hopped up out of bed about 9:00 this morning and ran back in to play with her new toys some more, haha! :)
