Happy Birthday Emmy!

On July 5th, Miss Emmy celebrated her 3rd birthday.  I can't believe 3 years have flown by since our little lady was born; I remember that day as if it was yesterday.  She has grown and changed and is becoming a little person more and more each day.  She is smart, funny, caring, compassionate and creative.  She can talk like there is no tomorrow and has an amazing imagination (if you will remember back to Jerry, her imaginary friend who is still around, and now has a mom named Connie and a friend named Carl).

To celebrate the day we had a lot of fun activities planned.  First was a trip to the mall with Daddy and Ian to Build-A-Bear followed by a ride on the carousel and a quesadilla lunch at Desert Moon Cafe, one of her favorites.  We went home for a much needed nap because we had a fun afternoon planned with her friends.

Since we are still at my parents I couldn't have a party here or that would have definitely gotten us kicked out.  I'm not sure a bounce house in the backyard is a regular occurrence at a 55 and older community so I planned a quick party at Peachwave, a new self-serve yogurt place we have in town.  We met 12 of her little friends there and they had a blast.  It was an hour of chaos, sugar highs and lots of playful screaming, but she was in heaven.  She played hostess so nicely passing out water, napkins of little Olivia tattoos she had picked out for everyone.  She had a great time, felt special and of course got some really cute presents so I would say the day was a huge success!

Happy Birthday Em, we love you with all of our heart!
