{Happy 2nd Birthday Emerson!}

We had an absolute blast celebrating Emerson last weekend for a fun-filled, 4th of July themed birthday party! We were so lucky that on top of our Indiana family being here, Aunt Laura, Uncle John, Aidan and Sydney were here for the festivities as well. It had been raining most of the day, but thankfully got a break long enough for the kids to play outside for awhile and to get some great pictures!

 

 

 

 

 

 We always know it'll be a rowdy time when all the cousins get together, but this time was like an actual WWF wrestling match! Poor Aidan, he was such an amazing sport as he had four toddlers body slamming him, running and jumping on him, and basically using him as a trampoline!

I was excited to see what Emerson would do with her cupcake this year because she wanted nothing to do with it when she turned one. My little sweet pea...she never even made it to the actual cupcake part, just loved the icing. All the kids had a field day with the cupcakes because the icing was making their tongues and teeth turn either red or blue. Ginka, Aunt Arynn, and Aunt Laura did a great job as the clean up crew with all the little smurfs running around! =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

July 4th is one of Eric and I's favorite holidays so it was super fun to have Emerson's party all decked out in red, white, and blue...plus, I can't even handle how cute she looked in her dress! Everyone was so festive and had such a great time - very thankful to have celebrated with our big, and ever growing family!
