My friend Julies little boy, Emerson, turned the big ONE-year-old! Julie threw an adorable party, complete with a barn for the kids to play in made out of a cardboard box (which she painted and it looked nothing like a cardboard box when she was done!) farm animals, a fence made out of old pallets, etc. Her and her husband did it all and it was perfect. I took my camera intending to capture a little bit of everything at the party, but, I got busy talking, chasing kids and eating; and didn’t even get my camera out till Emerson dug into his cake! But, you can see more pictures over on Julies blog here and here….

And here are a few of the birthday boy digging in… I love how kids look at their parents as if asking “are you sure your allowing me to do this?!?” right before they dig in!

I love this shot… the flower centerpiece surrounded by sippy cups… it just yells “kids birthday party!”

and this little guy was loving the bubbles!

and this is one of the last shots I took before putting my camera back up…her name is Elle, and she is just precious!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!
