Emma Turns FIVE!!

"You're beautiful baby from the outside in. Chase your dreams but always know the road that will lead you home again. Go on take on this 'ole world, but to me you know you'll always be my little girl!" 

Tim McGraw's "My Little Girl" was still very popular when I was pregnant with Emma.  I can remember (on several occasions) boo-hooing while driving down the road after I found out we were having a girl, and have to admit, I still get choked up if I hear it now!  It just makes me realize how quickly time is flying by!  I can not believe that Emma is already 5! 

SO... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our sweet, sassy, bossy, funny, smart, enthusiastic, energetic, prissy, fun-loving, too big for her britches, best big sister, cuddling, beautiful, joyful, negotiating, loving baby girl!!!  We love you to the moon and back!

Birthday cinnamon rolls on Tuesday, Dec 11 (her actual birthday!)

Emma got an "iPad" (as she calls it) from Mom and Dad!

Even George our Elf wished Emma a Happy Birthday!

Emma has grown 2 whole inches since her birthday last year!

We had a special birthday lunch at "that place you throw the peanuts on the floor" (aka Logan's) on Monday and Emma had a delicious GiGi's cupcake!!


She had school on her birthday on Tuesday, so we took the mini GiGi's cupcakes for her class to share!




For Emma's "Friend Party" was at Disney's on Ice!!  We took 10 kids to see the Saturday show and it was AMAZING!!  The kids LOVED it!









Emma's "Family Party" was at our house Sunday night!  PaPa set up a projector screen in the living room and we had a PJ and Movie Party!!  It turned out great and I think the kids really enjoyed it!!
