Happy 1st Birthday Emma!

Yesterday was Emma's birthday. I can't believe that she is already 1. After church and Andrew's meetings we went down to my mother's house and had cake with Mom, Aunt Breezy and Uncle Dustin, Great-Grandma Mandarino, and Lisa. Emma was a little hesitant with the personal cake that we had gotten for her until Daddy rubbed her face in it. As soon as she had gotten a taste that was it. Before she was done it was in her hair, on her face, and in between her toes. I bet you didn't know how soothing it is to squish with your feet.

After leaving Grandma "Rino's" we went to Grandma and Grandpa Sprouls. There we ate dinner and following that Grandma surprised Emma with ANOTHER individual cake. This time she was all business knowing exactly what to do and quickly tried to devour as much cake as she could before it was taken away. Sadly the cake was not placed between her legs on the floor, as was the first time, enabling her to paint wonderful artwork in frosting with her toes.

(Please excuse the crazy hair...it still has a little bit of cake from the first time in it and the evil glint in her eye...well, that is just because she is on sugar overload and is living it up.)


One would think that that much sugar would cause fits, or at least throwing up. Alas, only diarrhea the next day. Poor baby, but I think she has learned not to binge. :)
