OH What a GLORIOUS DAY!

Heritage Festival

Emma hitched a ride for most of it!

They had Yummy Corn!

And Music for Dancing...

Walking....

And sitting.

There were a lot of dogs Emma could pet; she LOVED that!

As we were heading out, we found the FACE PAINTING Station!

Who doesn't like the self taken picture?! Classic.

Emma's (3rd and FINAL) Birthday Celebration!

The events of Emma's (actual= meaning the day she turned 3) Birthday celebration are as follows:

Get DRESSED UP and go to a FANCY Restaurant.

Make sure mommy and daddy have their CROWNS on too!

If I get upset; let me! It's my birthday and I can cry if I want too!

Let me make my own PIZZA!

Have mommy color me a picture.

Let me dance in the aisle! (Can't squelch her groove)

Go to the Mall and look for Fancy Princess accessories!

Emma's (2nd) Birthday Celebration with Grandma!

Emma had another birthday celebration (the day after the Big Party!). Jess' mom, grandma, and brother, Eric, came into town for the day. We opened presents, then headed to the PARK! You can see by the pictures, we had a BLAST!!!

Jess' grandma...isn't she BEAUTIFUL!

Some generational shots!

On the way to the local Dairy Queen for a refreshing TREAT!

Emma turns the BIG #3!

Emma turned 3 and, of course, we had to PARTY!!!!

Some of the girls dressed in PRINCESS GOWNS!

They went on WAGON RIDES and traced their path with CHALK.

No party would be complete without BUBBLES!

We had some crafts!

And of course, sang to Emma and ate CUPCAKES!

Emma kind of broke down at this point in the day...too much and no down time apparently doesn't mix well, but we got through the PRESENT OPENING. (One day, she'll look back and think she was crazy to complain while opening presents.)

Oh the suspense of what present is coming next!

We were so blessed to have family and friends over to celebrate Emma with us!

THE END!
