An Almost Birthday

Emmy has spent her last three birthdays in Bangkok, so during our time here she's longed for a birthday party in America. Tonight we've had two of her favorite people in the whole world- her cousin Claire and her dear Gracyn- three very excited little girls and their dolls having a great time together celebrating a birthday 3 months early. They've played hard, been extremely silly, eaten pizza (complete with little plates and cups for the dolls!), made leis (we have a tropical theme), had cake and ice cream, watched Sleeping Beauty, and generally had a fun, sweet time.

So thankful for these girls and their love for our Em...




And this was the scene at bedtime several hours ago...thankfully, they've finally settled down!


Lots to catch up on around here...lots more to come...

Oh boy! Looks like a fun, and silly time. Thanks again for having Gracyn. We'll miss you all, but expect pen pal letters!

It must be so fun to see your kids have as much fun as you had and be as silly as you were as a kid. It just doesn't seem that long ago when slumber parties were so much fun! What a good mom you are to enjoy (and maybe even endure) the silliness and excitement of little girls so that Emmy can have memories of her own.
