Emma Kate’s First Birthday Party

September 21, 2015 | baby, craft, family

Over the weekend, we had friends and family come into town to celebrate Emma Kate’s first birthday! She officially won’t be one until Thursday though.

It was a very hot day which was a bummer because I was hoping we could hang out in the backyard but no such luck. Bobby grilled boudin in the blazing hot sun.

We of course had some Orange Leaf frozen yogurt with our cake!

We also had a candy bar and plenty of food.

Chic-Fil-A nuggets, fruit, veggies, chips and salsa, sandwiches, pork, crawfish, and shrimp boudin, and of course cake.

I printed off a picture of Emma Kate from every month and used them as decorations.

She was not a huge fan of the icing on her smash cake and didn’t like how it felt on her fingers.

It was organized chaos with all the kids but we had a great time with about 30 people in the house.

I plan to do another post with more pictures of the decorations etc. so stay tuned for that if party planning is something that interests you. I seemed to manage to catch another cold so I am feeling pretty crummy and am going to try to lay low for the next couple of days. I hope everyone has a great Monday!

    Looks like a cute birthday party!!! My oldest cried when everyone sang happy birthday to him at his one year party lol! He didn’t want anything to do with the cake either. But my youngest tore his cake up! Hope you feel better soon Heather!

      She has had cake before but I think it was the thick icing she didn’t like
