Happy Birthday Dear Emma!

It still amazes me just how quickly time passes. Last week we celebrated a day that happened five years ago: the day we met our first little girl, Emma Kylie. I don't feel like I'm much different than I was five years ago, but I know she certainly is!

September 27, 2003

Emma decided she wanted to celebrate at Build-a-Bear with her cousins, so we did, and it was a great day. She woke up early and we were opening presents before eight in the morning!! After a yummy breakfast, we went to the hair salon so she could look "fancy" because after all, you only turn 5 once.
Then we went to lunch with our family, our cousins and their mom, and Aunt Nani at Red Robin. Now that was an exciting lunch!!


From Red Robin we headed to Build-a-Bear where the girls created their lovable companions, complete with new outfits as well.


(First we stuff them, then we fluff them! Even Sarah was excited to fluffy up her new doggy!)


Soon, everyone was tired...and the crazy bus (aka our Sequoia filled with 5 children and 3 adults!) made it home.


Finally, we ended the evening with cake and ice cream and grandparents...and of course more presents!! I think this was her best birthday ever.
