It was a beautiful day, but there was enough of a cool breeze that everyone opted to sit in the sun to stay warm. The older kids played on the playground and the babies loved crawling around on the blankets.
Dan and Dad J. went to the park early that morning to reserve a pavilion and hold it until the party started. It was great to have the extra picnic tables and shade for the food.
Emma's adorable birthday cake. The birthday party theme was ladybugs, since Dan calls her "Lady Lovebug". (We also had a chocolate cake with fudge frosting for the choc-aholics.)
How old are you, Emma?
That's right, smartie pants. :)

Emma had a great time playing with all her new toys! We opened gifts on the grass where all the kids could see and play with the new toys.
Happy girl!
Of course she still loved eating the wrapping paper and tissue best. :)
After opening the gifts, we cut a big piece of cake for her
At first she was fine, smiling and waving at her adoring fans.
But then she tasted the cake and realized it wasn't chocolate! Wah!
So she fed it to Dan instead. Ha!
The other kids seemed to enjoy the cake, though!
