Emery Turned One!

I can't believe our little Emery Bug is over a year old!  She is such a special part of our family and I can't even begin to imagine life without her!

I told Craig that I never want Emery to grow up the other day because she is so much fun, incredibly happy all of the time and is such an easy-going baby right now. It has been an amazing blessing in my life to watch her grow up and see her blossom into a beautiful little girl over this past year.  She truly has touched my life with her sweetness and I love that she openly shares that light with all of those around her.  She is such a special little girl.

We celebrated her first birthday with family a few weeks ago.  We had such a great time and are so grateful to those of our family who were able to make it.  Thanks so much for all of your love and support--it means so much to us!!

All of Miss Em's Favorite Things!

Sliced bananas with a dollop of Chocolate then topped with a raspberry.  These were SO good!!

Cupcakes In Ice Cream Cones!  After one failed attempt, these turned out really cute!
