Hoffe Family Fun: Happy 1st Birthday Emmett!

On Thursday, November 24th we celebrated our little boy's 1st birthday! (sniff, sniff) I can't believe he is a year already! Where did the year go?

Thursday was a busy day, as it was also Thanksgiving. We were fortunate to have my mom, dad, sister Katie and Mike come Wednesday evening to be with us for the whole weekend (the rest of my family came on Friday). We celebrate Emmett's birthday for the majority of the day at home. He opened a few presents, ate his first little piece of cake, and we spent some quality time playing with him. Later that day we went to Jason and Holly's house for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast! What a special day for a special boy!
