September 29, 2007 The Birthday party













What a day for Emma. We had her birthday party and it was a good time for all. She had two grandmas, two grandpas, 4 great grandmas and 2 great grandpas to dote on her. She also had Aunt Cassie, Uncle Jarrod, Aunt Pam, Al, Jenny, Skylee, Baily, Trey, Kaydence, Stormy, and Emilee to help celebrate. There was 24 of us in all.


We had spaghetti for dinner, then she opened her presents which we had to take a break in the middle of since she seemed to lose interest on the opening and would rather do the playing. I think her favorite toy was a Harley rocker from Aunt Cassie. She thought that was pretty cool. Her sit and spin Zebra from her mommy and daddy was another popular toy. So was her stroller, her shape and color bug and many other toys she received. We wonder now with this many new toys how we will ever figure out what to get her for her Christmas presents this year!


She loved the Elmo cakes and thought it was pretty fun digging into the cake with Aunt Cassie. All in all she had a great time and was a very, very good girl throughout it all.


Emma’s Halloween costume came in. She is going to be Elmo. We tried it on her and she was so cute. She wasn’t sure she liked it until I showed her how she looked in the mirror, then she smiled and laughed.


Now that she is a year old, her car seat can be facing forward. Emma thinks that is the greatest thing. Brianna said she kept laughing and saying “Look.. See?” I will have to turn her car seat in my car around also before we go to Spearfish on Tuesday for her year old checkup.


I was giving Emma a bath this morning. She had a little fish that I filled with water and then would squirt her with it. She thought that was so funny so I started filling it then letting her squeeze it to squirt it. She was laughing so much and then she squirted herself right in the face with it. That would upset most kids her age but she laughed even harder over it. She thought it was so fun. I think SHE is so fun!


Emma is also blowing Kisses now. She is so cute when she does it. She puts her hand over her mouth then smacks her lips. I can’t believe how fast this year went and how much she has matured through out the year. She is one smart cookie.
