Lobie Girl

I call Emerson my "lovie girl" and Eloise has picked up on that. Every morning she will run into Emerson's room and say, "good morning, lobie girl!" I LOBE it! When she talks to her, she calls her, her lobie girl.
Well, this weekend, we celebrated our lobie girl's birthday. She turns one tomorrow....and let me tell you, I have been an emotional nutcase. I think I wasn't as emotional with Eloise last year because I knew that I had another baby on the way. But this year...I've been crying NUMEROUS times a day since Wednesday of last week.
Like, I've even called up Walt and told him that he needed to be cautious with what he says to me because the littlest thing could throw me into an emotional hissy fit.
So...Saturday we celebrated Emerson's birthday.
Her theme was
She's the Apple of Our Eye
it was quite the easy theme to come up with creative ideas.
Apples, right?
and I decided to go with the colors of light green, light pink, and light purple.
It was perfect.
We had great family and friends that came,
we passed out mini apple pies,
we had all kinds of apple food
and I had so much fun with the decor.
Also, I could not have gotten it all done if I hadn't had my sister and mother there helping.
Poco has now gained the title of my assistant, as she always gives up her time to help me get everything together...
and my mother was a big help because she kept the girls pre-occupied while Poco and I ran around like chickens with our heads cut off!!
So, this post is going to have lots of pics...
pictures from the photo shoot I did of our lobie girl, and pictures from her birthday party.
