Fall Family Fun

We had a fun filled day of family photos be taken;  here is a peek…

Happy 13 months big girl!

It seems as if overnight our little baby has been replaced by a big girl. Emma has done a lot of growing up this past month while marking several major milestones.  Emma you are not walking on your own yet, but you definitely want to move, holding on to furniture and moving around – scooching across the hardwood floor on your butt, wriggling on your tummy forwards and backwards, going from sitting to your knees and back again. You are already a handful! Can’t imagine when you start to walk.

our little girl's first birthday party

Well, the day finally came.  Your first birthday party! I wanted your first birthday celebration to be special so mommy and daddy combined it with Thanksgiving.  We had family and friends so up for the huge celebration.  Emma you did great, although you missed your afternoon nap, you didn’t fuss at all.   I guess you knew that all these people were here for you. 

Let’s take a look at the day; First we decided to let you sleep in, after all it is your special day 

 Mommy preparing the turkey

while grandma made all the food, we had Oxtail, Goat, rice and peas, salad, potato salad.  Uncle Peter brought an amazing ham, the food was awesome and everyone enjoyed the day.
