Milk & Cookies Party: Emma celebrates her FIRST birthday!!

We threw Miss Emma a 1st birthday party at Bear Branch Park (our family's personal favorite park in The Woodlands area). We rented the Pavillon for a few hours and decked it out with our milk and cookies theme!

On Saturday, the day before the party, there was a 100% chance of rain :(

BUT we decided rain or shine we would go, decorate cookies and visit, even if we couldn't do anything else.

Emma Lou is 1!

Our family

Don't mind the "bambaid" on Clara's forehead. It was a "magiary booboo." :)

(And certainly not a battle I wanted to fight!)

Dad and Papaw watching over the party favors

Clara was eager to take advantage of the cookie decorating station :)

All ready to go!

We had a great turn out! The kids had a ball playing on the playground. We were blessed to only have sprinkles, and even then for only maybe 30 minutes. The kids didn't care and played anyway! Hooray!
