Saturday night was Em's 26th birthday! We celebrated with her friends and family at her parents house in Menlo Park and had a yummy dinner with the whole crowd. Francie got to play with Em's nephew Jackson who is three months old now and so cute. Heff and I were pretty mellow all weekend (a rare weekend at home) and were happy to have a great reason to celebrate and a really nice party actually in Menlo Park to keep us busy Saturday night! Francie was honored to be included :)

Party girl in her party dress!

Jerry and Allison came down from the city (I had to ask who this kid was and what they did with my brother when Jerry told me he didn't dress up or go out on Halloween because he was studying for the GMAT)

Cute Em and James... even cuter in their Sarah Palin and "The Maverick" John McCain costumes last night!

The Heffs partying it up

"Hey whatcha doing in there Baby Jackson?" (In Marla's new "Gram Pram")

Francie was very interested in the baby...
"Do you want this? I brought some dinner for you!"

And helpful...
"Here, I'll put your binky in Jackson."

The birthday girl and her sweet nephew

Jackson was happy in James arms for most of the party after dinner!

And he didn't even complain when Francie made us put her "bo-bow" in Jackson's hair.

"Where's Francie?... Peekaboo!" (I love that little side-grin-smirk she has, just like her dad!)

Marla, the host, with 26 Sprinkles Red Velvet Cupcakes!

"Did you say CUPCAKES?"

Singing Happy Birthday To Em

Make a Wish!

Happy Happy Birthday Em and thanks for hosting a great party Joe and Marla!

Em shared half of her birthday cupcake with lucky girl Francie!

She wanted "more more!" so Uncle Jerry shared his too :)

The only babies allowed at the party... both still awake at 11pm

Marla let Francie "hold" her pretty bracelet and Francie signed "Thank You!" back to her like "Thanks, I'm keeping this one!" She did NOT want to give it back.
