**~~The Ladybug Turns 1 ~~**

I can't believe my baby is 1!! Where has this year gone?!? We had a great celebration for Em's 1st birthday(which was actually almost a month ago....a little behind on posts these days). We had about 40 people over to help us celebrate and had lots of birthday fun - complete with swimming, slip-n-sliding, squirt gun fights, pinata fun, and of course, CAKE!
Em LOVED her cake (she almost ate her own entire cake!). I worked hard the day before making a ladybug cake and 4 dozen cupcakes too. We had a blast and we know that we have had a Blessed year! I'm really just hoping that time slows down a little this next year...

Here are some pics of the birthday bash!

Opening presents - look at those teeth :).

More presents!

As good as a family pic can get anymore -quite humorous, really!

MMMMM CAKE!!

I found it hard to get Em's attention for pics when the cake was in front of her, but finally got one!
