Happy Birthday, Em!

Today was a great day.  I am one blessed woman to have this little girl in my life.  I took the day off to hang out with Emma, and I am so thankful I did.  She slept in until 7:30, woke up smiling, and hasn't stopped since.  We played this morning at home, and then went to the tailors at the mall to drop off her party dress to get shortened.  This girl had a blast dancing in jcpenney - she literally twirled all the way through the store.  It did make getting in and out a challenge, but she was so happy.

We then headed over to Raleigh to have lunch with dad.  She fell asleep within seconds of being in the car, so I took the long way and drove like my grandpa.  After picking up dad and visiting at the pharmacy, we went to Chickfila.  Emma loves some chicken nuggets!

She had another nap on the way home, where grandma was waiting to play!  Brent left work early, and my dad came over.  We had bought some extra BBQ from the weekend (post to come later this week) to eat for this special night.  We ended the night with our first cupcake and very first tricycle!!!    

It was truly a great day, the kind you don't want to end.  Emma was happy and smiling the whole day, but truthfully, she's like that everyday...and for that and her happiness I am so grateful.
