Emmy's birthday was lots of fun this year. We had been talking the day up for a week or so. She knew exactly what she wanted! First thing out of her mouth when she woke up in the morning was 'Emmy's birfday, I wear Sunshine and have Manny cake!' She loves her Little Miss Sunshine shirt so much, and my mom was making her a Manny cake, and he is her favorite. So we ate breakfast, put on her Sunshine shirt, and asked her what she wanted to do! At first all she wanted was to stay home, play with Daddy, and watch cartoons. So we stayed home until nap time.
After nap time we asked her what she wanted to do. She wanted to get a fruit smoothie and play at the mall playground. So we went to the mall to do just that! Dan and I just sat and watched her play. She loves to play around and with other kids. She has so much fun at the mall playground, despite the chaos that is there!!! After her fruit smoothie, we headed home and then to Aunt Celeste's for her birthday party. Our house is so small, we are so happy that Aunt Celeste offered to have the dinner and cake and ice cream at her house, thank you!!!
We ate Emmy's favorite dinner, Cafe Rio Salads, and then opened presents. She got great gifts from everyone, and loves all her toys especially this baby doll from Celeste, Ty and Layn (her first). She loves the doll, and is constantly trying to 'change the bum' on her doll.
After presents we had cake and ice cream. Emmy was in love with her Manny cake, as you can see by her giving kisses to him. She loves anything to do with Manny. I think its so funny, you can't find any girl stuff with Handy Manny on it! Thank you Mamaw for the great cake!
Emmy had a great birthday. Thanks to all who helped make the day special. I can't believe she's two. Its amazing to me how fast these first two years have flown by! They become toddlers so fast, and lose the baby-ness about them! She is still so much fun though, I wouldn't trade it or go back! We love you Emmy.
