Emma's 1st Birthday.

April 28th 2010... Emma turned one! Her birthday cake was a strawberry cupcake with strawberry icing from Butter Baked Goods. Strawberries are Emmas favourite... The real ones. She did exactly what her big brother did on his 1st birthday... More interested in the decorations than the actual cake itself. She carried around that darn candle with her all day long (I kept it as a keepsake... A Mom thing :)

Emma's first birthday present from our sweet neighbour Gwen.

Happy little camper.

"I have to touch this, I just have to."

"White pointy stick thing or pink swirly thing?"

"Am I allowed to?"

Can I touch it? Pleeeeeeeeease!"

"It's all mine? My very own cupcake?"

"It's mine and don't try and take it from me big brother... I'm watching you!"

"Strawberry? Mmmmmmmm..."

"I'm the Birthday Girl!"

"Stuuuuuuck! Why do they keep putting my beloved white stick thing back into that silly pink thing?"

"Maybe they won't notice..."

Em got the strawberry and Ryan got a double chocolate with colored sprinkles. When Ryan was a baby and he was really enjoying something he would curl his toes... You can tell he's loving that cupcake :) Super cute!

"Want some?"

Emma and her "woo-bee"...

By the end of the day the candle was broken in about 5 places with the string barely holding it together.
