Emily turned 2 years old last Saturday. We took her to Chuck E. Cheese for her birthday since the weather was not good for Disneyland. She loved all the rides at Chuck E. Cheese and she especially liked the freedom to run all around. We had a cute little birthday cupcake for her but she was not interested in eating it. Here are some pics of her special day.
Last Sunday was the Blessing of the Animals at our church. While most people brought their live pets we chose to bring Emily's stuffed pet bear, whose name is Happy. Father Norm blessed Happy and sprinkled holy water on him. Emily was so cute as she handed Happy over to Father Norm for his blessing.
We had so much fun with Emily, Lily ( Emily's sister ), and Angelique ( Lily & Emily's birth mother ) at the Pumpkin Patch last Saturday. Emily rode a pony for the first time and Lily loved the train. The girls are so bonded and had so much fun together. We are so thankful that we are able to see Lily so that they can grow up knowing each other.
Emily and I went to Babies's 'R Us last weekend and I bought her a Tinkerbell chair. It was on sale finally, I had been looking at it for some time. Doesn't she look cute sitting in it just before we went to church last Sunday?
Emily loves water. She was so ready to get in the turtle pool and splash around. She loves to be outside so she can play with her big dog, Morgan, and her sandbox too. I am so excited that she loves to go in her pool, being that I was a swimmer when I was younger. Can't wait to enroll her in swim lessons!
While I was in Fort Collins visiting Rachel & family, she told me about these really cool slow drip mini popsicles that she buys for Tyler. She told me they are hard to find in California. I lucked out! I went to Ralph's and got the last package. Only problem was, Emily wasn't real sure she wanted to try one. One lick and that was all she wanted. No problem, I finished the rest of it!
Lily has proven to be an exceptional big sister to Emily. She shares with her, kisses her and plays so well with her. Emily adores her and follows her everywhere, as this video shows.
