birthday girl

Emily turned three last Saturday, March 13th. We started the weekend off as we usually do, with our Saturday morning music class, which I know I haven't blogged about yet but I'll be taking pictures at our last class tomorrow so the blog will be coming ;). Emily was excited to bring Grandmom with us since she was here for the weekend from Florida. They sang happy birthday to her in class...thank God because she only asked me about 50 times during class if they were going to sing to her. After lunch, she opened her presents from us and then went off to nap in her new big girl bed. Her transition from crib to bed has been smooth.


On Sunday we celebrated her birthday with a small family party at our home. It was a great day and since Em had her two party requests, a Disney princess cake and Disney princess plates, she was good to go.

On Wednesday we celebrated at Build-a-Bear with Emily's cousins. Emily made "Carly", a purple iCarly bear, Camryn made "Blossom", a bunny with flowers all over it and Connor made "Patty", a St. Patrick's Day bear.

After the party, we went downstairs to say hi to the Easter Bunny and much to my surprise, Camryn was all for sitting with him and touching him. She was so into him that my father-in-law took notice and wanted to know why she seemed to love the Easter Bunny but cries when he approaches...he said he's going to buy a bunny suit to wear ;). So after Connor and Emily saw Camryn with the Easter Bunny and more importantly, the cheap little plastic cup that he gave her, they changed their minds and also sat with him. The picture actually turned out great...very cute.

Happy Birthday Em! You bring so much joy to our lives...our family would not be complete without you! Love you.
