What's new



Yeah, it's been a while since I last blogged. Our computer was broke down so now it's up and running again and ready for blogging! So let's see what's new...
#1.  Emilee had a birthday! Her birthday was miserable for her though because she had a fever of 102 all day! A few days later though we had a big party with a few of Daniel's aunts and uncles and cousins which was fun and she got super spoiled. A year sure has flown by!

Special baby birthday pancakes! (They didn't get eaten)
Her birthday presents from Mom and Dad. Puzzles and a musical toy remote since she loves remotes and things with buttons.
The table for her birthday party. Pink and yellow cupcakes, ice cream and brownies, and cake pops. Framed photos of Em as a newborn, 5 months and 11 months and a few others on the clothesline to show the past years growth.
Opening presents
Her cake. Ohh it's a long story. Everything I try to make for special events ALWAYS turns into disasters. I tried to make it healthy with applesauce instead of oil which is great if you don't need to cut the cake, layer it and frost it. It was so moist it was falling apart. Gobs and gobs of frosting made it turn out OK (although ruining the healthy factor).
She was very dainty eating her cake, picking up the pink dots of frosting one by one. She didn't even get messy.   


#2. Purple cast
After 6 weeks in the pink Spica cast, we got a new one (for growth, readjustment, and a bath!). Daniel requested a purple one this time. She had to go back to Primary's and go under anesthesia again, but it was pretty painless compared to the surgery. This cast seems less huge :) and I discovered she can actually fit in a stroller again, amazing! 


# 3. Yard stuff                                         
Sprinklers successfully put in the ground after some hard work. Tulips are beautiful and we put in a rock garden with flowers on the corner. Dahlia's are also planted so they should come up soon too. (We kinda like flowers). If only we had grass- that will have to wait.    

                                                                                                   
# 4. EASTER
Ha. 
Well I know I'm leaving things out but this will do for now.

I love all the pics from her birthday party! Your cake is darling. She is incredibly darling, too! We can't wait to see you at the zoo!

Great update! The first b-day is always such a special one. I'm sure I would have loved the cake with gobs and gobs of frosting. :)
