Brynn Turns One

We celebrated Brynn's birthday with a bang. The theme was the Peanuts. She loves her blanket at night so Linus seemed a good fit. Seems I am always a year ahead of the next popular kids theme...for Emerson we did Curious George and I couldn't find anything, this year it is every where, but no peanuts. As you can see the cake is custom (can't beat a local bakery) and the only other related thing I could find was a peanuts shirt for her. As you can see by the end of the day she was popped...she just gave up on the floor. Emerson had a good time playing with her friend Cameron. No matter how long it has been since they last saw each other they always play great.
Brynn was walking by her birthday, now if she would only start talking. I said the same thing about Emerson and once she started really be verbal around 18 months she hasn't stopped talking since.

A couple weeks after Brynn's birthday our babysitter asked as out to dinner where her and her boyfriend told us they were engaged. They also asked that Emerson be a flower girl in the wedding. I am bit hesitant, but the wedding isn't until next October so we have time to practice. We are happy for both of them and look forward to their big day. (As a disclaimer, our babysitter isn't the high school girl down the street, she is college graduate and her fiance is an engineer; We just got very lucky to find her!)
