Celebrating Emma turning two!!






The baby girl turned two, so of course we celebrated!! However, we did nothing fancy or big..way too pregnant to deal with that. On the 19th we had a family birthday party for Emma and we were very happy that it worked out for when Patty was here! Em had her "Abby" birthday party and loved all of her gifts!! She got a lot of baby doll stuff and books...which I loved! The kids played dress up a lot and hung out in the little pool that Gramma Linda let the kids have. It was hot outside, but a great time was had:)


On Emma's actual birthday Darci and Gwenie came over for some pool time and lunch. Emma opened up her presents from them (a shirt and cutie pie dress), sun blocked the kids up and headed to the pool. We were there for a few hours and ate yummy sandwiches and fruit then headed back for nap time:) OH and of course I have to mention how Dar saved Emma from death by picking her up out of the water when Em fell through her tube...thanks Darci!!




Later that night, after we dropped Drew off at Gramma's house, Derek gave Emma her flowers (two this year for turning two) and then went to dinner at Hero's. I know it may seem kind of strange taking a two year old to Hero's for her birthday, but she LOVES it there!! All of the stuff hanging from the walls and ceiling keeps her attention through most of dinner or lunch. After dinner we went to Toys-r-us to let her pick out a toy....she was so excited to be by herself with us and when she picked out accessories for her doll house she had the biggest smile!!! It was too cute. Then home and off to bed for her, well after daddy and her played doll house for a bit:)
