Look out world she's turning one!!!!

So today was my niece Emerson's birthday party. Although her birthday isn't until Wed, and since her sister is about to make her appearance any day now, we all thought it best to make the party sooner than later. What a day!!! Our journey began with two cakes in tow en route to Houston. We were petrified that the cakes would get ruined on our watch, so we took extra precautions to make sure the cakes were good and safe. I on the other hand sat indian style in the front seat until my legs fell asleep. Oh well, it was worth it to see my sister's face when she saw the cakes. The theme was candy so there was candy everywhere and Tim (E's daddy) even rented a snow cone machine!! It did rain, however it didn't stop the guests from partying outside underneath the awnings. The rain thankfully only lasted about 20 minutes and cooled everything off. The party was fabulous, the birthday girl precious, and the momma anxious. Did I mention that she was having contractions the whole time???
