Emma's Special Day

For Emma's birthday celebration we kept things small and simple but very special. Emma was very excited to celebrate her birthday. I love that she is now starting to understand celebrations like birthdays. What is funny is Andy pointed out that her special day was not too different from any other day b/c she is always spoiled with love and she usually does get what she wants.


The night before we decorated the kitchen and then Andy woke up very early on the day of her birthday to go buy her balloons.


We could not resist lighting candles and singing "Happy Birthday" right away.

To keep with our birthday tradition, we headed to the park for tons of playtime.


After lunch we revealed one of Emma's presents to her. As you can see it is something for the outdoors.


Do you like our wrapping paper? Haha. We used an old car cover to wrap her present. Can you guess what it is?

Emma's new playhouse!! She is in love with this gift and so am I.


Emma could not resist opening some presents. Emma's auntie Elizabeth (my best friend since high school) made Emma this cute painting.


Since Emma is so into cookies, I made her a double decker chocolate chip cookie cake. Yum!!


Time to blow out the candles.
