Emma is 9!

We had such a fun birthday week celebrating Emma. She asked to have her nails done so I of course had to use our pink and blue and they looked so cute. We woke up and she had asked to go swimming on her actual birthday since her party wasn't for a couple days. We headed over to my mom and dad's and Kylee cooked her a special birthday breakfast, totally spoiling her. We swam all day and the kids had a blast. Charlotte got Emma ready for her birthday dinner and we headed over to Olive Garden. Emma said she just wanted breadsticks, she is a smart girl! After dinner we went back to my parents for more swimming. Kylee took Emma to the store where she picked out a present and some treats. Then she got to have a sleepover with her aunts, grandma and grandpa just by herself.

Friday came and all my sisters came over and we made sugar cookies for Emma's party. That night we headed to the drive in to see the new Toy Story 4. We had quite the set up. Everyone had their comfy chairs, Madi and Vernon brought their couch and we bought a big outdoor speaker. We had a table set up with dinner and then we sang and brought out the cookies. Emma opened her presents and was so. She got so many fun crafts and gifts that will keep her entertained all summer. Next we headed to the playground to let the kids play before the movie. When we came back we had all the movie treats and snacks brought out. Everyone had such a great time and we all loved celebrating Emma. The drive in even wished Emma a Happy Birthday on the radio before the movie started.

Emma is a beautiful girl who has so  many outstanding qualities. She is smart, loves loves math, she is kind and works so well with her peers and friends. She is a great helper around the house with her siblings and me. She cares so much for people. Her favorite colors have been blue and pink for the last three years and those are still the best. She loves cotton candy and leggings. We have so much fun and she is the perfect piece in our family. I am so proud of her and we love you so much Emma.
