Happy Birthday, Emerson!

Mom, Kate, McCanless, Mary Clare and I recently hit the road to Augusta for Emerson’s first birthday party. (Mel was at a clothing show and, unfortunately, could not be there.) It was a beautiful party with many friends! In lieu of birthday gifts, Emerson collected monetary donations for Saving Little Hearts and Annabelle’s baskets. Annabelle’s family was there, and a new HLHS buddy, Payton and his mom joined the birthday fun as well. We all had so much fun!

Nothing like fun at a birthday party with swings and suckers!

Mary Clare couldn’t keep her hands off of Payton, another HLHS heart buddy! She kept giving him lots of kisses and hugs. (He, on the other hand, wasn’t so sure about such a straight-forward girl.)

It was such a beautiful day and a wonderful celebration! We had a great time and can’t wait to celebrate many more birthdays with Emerson and her family!
