Happy Birthday to our seven year old! She's getting so big and mature. We are so blessed to have such a sweetie in our family. Emma is one of the happiest, good-natured people I know. She gets along with most people so well, and I never have to worry about her behavior at school, and I know she's always going to be sweet to her brother. One look at her smile, and I think we can see all that sweetness leaking out. She loves to play with her American Girl dolls, and she still has a soft spot for Barbies. My little angel is starting to grow out of her dress-ups though. We finally gave most of them away, and it was a sad day for me. I remember all the endless days that she wouldn't wear anything except a princess dress. Luckily, she knows it doesn't take a pretty dress to make a princess - she is very confident that she is princess all the time. Though the dress ups are gone, we still do lots of "dressing up." She has play makeup that she loves to wear (oh great). It's been so fun to watch Emma as she has learned to read. It's magical to see the way it has increased her independence to be able to understand the world around her. We sure love our little Emma!
Emma got to celebrate her birthday for about the whole month of July. We started with a friend party a few weeks before the actual day. She had a Minnie Mouse party, and it was so much fun!
This is the only cake she got this year. We were traveling on her real birthday, so we made do with a small treat. The Minnie Mouse cupcakes turned out darling.
And a Minnie themed lunch!
What fun friends!
And a spoiled little girl with her spoils. Two days before her birthday, we left her bike at the park. So she got an extra bonus gift - a cool big bike, with gears and all!
We love you, little sweetheart!!! And always will.
