Happy Birthday Emma

I cannot believe how these four years have just flown by. It is kind of sad but so exciting as she will start preschool in the fall and hopefully get on a little soccer team. I am also going to get her into swimming lessons cause I just don't know how to teach her myself. Anyway, we had such a wonderful and busy day. As soon as Emma got up she decided to "help me" get everything ready. She set the table for 13 people and set the other table with the Dora plates.
We colored Dora pages and cut them out to be placemats for the "guests". Then at 1230 we left to get treats for all 30 kids at this gym that she goes to 2 times a week. As soon as we walked into the gym, all the teachers told her happy birthday and even sang to her. She thought she was big stuff. Then I ran quickly to pick up a soccer ball for her and her birthday cake.
Thank you so much mom for coming over last night to help out so I could make the food and for picking her and Andrew and some balloons up. What a help that all was. And dad, thanks for doing the camcorder thing again. :)
As soon as Emma got home she just had to put on her short little "party dress". Emma is not good at wearing dresses and this one was probably too short for her....oh well.
Thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy summer to come celebrate with us. It means so much to us to have you here. Thanks for all the wonderful gifts too....we couldn't hardly get her to bed tonight. Poor thing wants to play Dora games and open up the Princess walkie talkies. She played a couple of marble games before bed and kicked the ball into the goal a couple of times. A special thank you to Andy and Casey for getting her "slime" to play with. Her and Andrew had a ball in the back yard and she just about had to be hosed off before going to bed.
All in all we had an awesome day but I need desperately to get to bed.
