A Fun Weekend

Celebrating last weekend in Atlanta

One tired birthday girl, and one really sunburned daddy! (Jim would die if he saw this!)

The beautiful bride at her portrait. And no, this is not the best picture that I took, I just don't want to give away how gor-geous she will look on her wedding day!

Blowing out the candle!

Emery really got into opening presents!

After she opened these, she then said, "more presents?"

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Emery's birthday!!

It all started on Friday morning... We were going to meet my sister and mom at M.L. Crawfords (hair salon) because my sister was getting her bridal portrait done that day. After the salon we were heading to Chuck-e-cheese. It was going to be very small, just grandparents and one cousin! But, about the time we were supposed to meet, my aunt Amy (the 30 year old one that's really a sister) was in a fender bender. So, she was rushed in an ambulance to Vanderbilt because she is 40 weeks (and counting) pregnant with Baby Bennett. But, everything checked out just fine though, and unfortunately, for her, it didn't help get labor going!

We headed to McDonalds for a lovely fried meal instead! Friday night we tried again to celebrate with pizza.... and that time it worked! My parents came over afterwards for a very small party- as in the 4 of us and Emery party!

The rest of the weekend was filled with some fishing(not me!), a birthday party for a friend from church, and then dinner with cousins. Sunday we had another family party for Emery.

Needless to say, we've celebrated for a week now. Last weekend with the Byerlys and this weekend with my family. All I know is that next year will be different... she now understands what a party is!

Oh yeah, I posted a picture of Emery's birthday shirt... If you're interested in buying one, check out my new link! Karen goes to church with us, and can do several really neat "custom" gifts!
