Emily turns 3!

I cannot believe that my baby is 3 years old! But she is! Yesterday was her birthday...I know, those of you who actually read my blog are amazed that I am posting something in a timely fasion and not months late! We had a great day celebrating! We rented a bounce house for the occasion and for the first time Emily wanted to invite "Fwends", for all you non toddler speaking people that means "friends" to her party! We had several little friends from church that showed up for the occasion along with lots of family! The funniest part of the whole day had to be when we sang Happy Birthday to Emily. I don't know if we sounded that bad or what, but she started crying! I think she was a little bit overwhelmed with so many people singing to her and was a bit embarrased! At any rate, it made for some great pictures....check out photo #2 below. Mommy came to her rescue and held her hand and even blew out her candles for her! Needless to say even with a few tears we had a great day and Emily recovered quickly and was more than happy to open gifts and entertain the crowd! Emily just came upstairs as I was typing this. I asked what her favorite part of the day was and I quote, "Bouncing in the bounce castle." It was a day fit for the little princess that she is!
