Today is "The Baby's" (as Josh and I still call her) 4th Birthday!!! I am filled with emotion. This precious Gift from God, my daughter, is so beautiful. I am flooded with tenderness toward her and can't believe she is mine.
She opened her presents from Daddy and I this morning, along with presents from my Uncle Don and Aunt Barb. Their presents were the obvious "winners" so far this year :)... namely the Barbie and the Diamond Castle Laptop and Barbie Best Friends make-up!! Emily is always trying to play with my computer and her daddy's, so getting her own "umpooter" is like a dream come true! And what little girl doesn't love make-up? She has been applying it to her, me, and even a lady from our church when she came over this morning! :)
We had PBandJ (Goober) for lunch, popcorn at the movies, and "Cheesy Pasta" (Tortellini) for dinner, some of Emily's favorites. For dessert, we had a mini birthday cake and fresh fruit. Emily ate the fruit and the icing... lots and lots of icing!
In between lunch and dinner, we took her to the movies (a favorite outing of hers), to see Bolt (thank you to Great-Gramma for Emily's "Mad Money"!). Then we took her to the treehouse play area there in the mall, which is also a favorite.
This morning, the lady from church and her husband brought Emily a BIG real tent that their grandkids have always loved. It takes up a good portion of our living room, and will provide many hours of imaginative play for our adventurous girl! They also brought her a birthday present of more "Big Girl" panties. She is doing SO WELL using the "Big Girl" potty--- only using pull-ups basically at naptime and bedtime.
She seems to be having a wonderful birthday and, of course, is still looking forward to her party in Florida on the 30th!
I promise to post pictures soon!
