Emma's Birthday

Emma had a wonderful birthday! She was blessed to celebrate it with Grammy and Poppa and Ms. Miller and Mariela. She had a special breakfast followed by a trip to the beach and a special dinner party. She was showered with gifts and has genuinely played with each of them just about every day. We are so thankful for our little girl!

Grammy made Emma elephant, lion, and monkey chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast

So Cute!

Birthday Breakfast

Jonah was obsessed with the birthday balloon. Emma was very sweet and just let him play with it all day...until it had a run in with the ceiling fan and lost

She finally got her kitchen!

She and Jonah enjoyed playing in the sand

We were so thankful to have Ms. Miller and Mariela join us to celebrate. That took away a little of the sting that she could not have a girl party with all of her friends in Cincinnati.

Emma wanted a yellow and pink cake. Beside the fact that the colors were vibrant to say the least, the icing was a disaster (I have made the icing so many times before) and the cake split in half (they were the most perfect cakes I have ever made so I don't know why it cracked). I had no more energy to redo the cake and since she helped make it and was excited about it, we enjoyed the unique cake Emma had!

Oh yes, the icing was falling off of the cake - it was horrible

Happy Birthday to you, Emma Kate!

After her birthday we rearranged her room to make a "house" in the cove where her bed had been. She is so excited to have her own house and plays up there all the time.
