It's Emma's 5th birthday! We've had such a fun week celebrating you, sweet one. This year your birthday is the day before Easter.
We dyed eggs and you wanted to do "just one more".
We had an ice cream and stories party. Because all day long I hear you say, "Mom, will you read me a story?" Or "Tell me a story, please." So for one evening, that's all we did. We read you stories.
Today our church threw you the best birthday party ever, the "Egg-stravaganza." There were bounce houses, carnival games and of course, an egg hunt.
And then, Uncle Brennan came for a visit! And he brought presents.
Emma, you are beautiful and smart and so inquisitive. You love to ask questions. You are polite and obedient, most of the time. You are learning to read and you have the best imagination. You love playing with stuffed animals. You don't like to color, but you will sit and read books all day long! I'm so blessed to be your mommy!
My favorite moment was yesterday afternoon. Before any of the birthday festivities began, as I was laying you down for a nap, you said, "Mom, thank you for celebrating my birthday." I love your thankful heart and it made me sad to think that maybe your first three birthdays weren't celebrated that much. You are so worthy to be celebrated!
