I woke up this morning thinking where has the time gone. It seems like yesterday I was waking up this morning anxious to have Emery here. Today I was anxious to slow time down. I can't believe my baby is not a toddler anymore. We began the day with a few tears.
The tears left as quickly as they came!
I'm really not quite sure where the peace sign came from. Emmet was so hopeful this morning that he didn't have to go to school because it was Emery's birthday. He will try anything to get out of school and he was persistent but I held my ground and to school he went! Emery and I met up with all of Emery's younger cousins for a birthday lunch at McDonald's. She loves her cousins and she had a great time eating nuggets and playing ring around the rosies!
Notice the different outfits. Emery LOVES clothes and wore at least three different outfits today. Grandma Kathy gave her new clothes and she was in heaven. I haven't really done a "friends" birthday party for Emery and this year I thought we would give it a try. We invited four friends over for an hour and fifteen minutes. I had it all planned out and Emmet was hysterical making the girls laugh and it was so cute to see him helping make her party fun. He did eventually get sick of it and went to play at the next door neighbors. His humor and antics reminded me of Sam and that always makes my heart sing.
It was a very simple party, but the girls had a great time especially Emery. I hadn't seen her so excited before and so grown-up. She's really starting to come out of her shell. We had a cake and we were singing to her and she wasn't sure what to do. Emmet and I were laughing just blow the candles out!
The day ended with her gift from me a silly tent, but I knew she would love playing inside of it!
I had to throw this last picture in for Grandma Kathy. This was her final outfit for the evening.
I am so relieved that her birthday met her expectations. She's excited for her cousins party next week. Birthdays are a hard day for me. Emmet's and Emery's birthdays were two of the most important days Sam and I shared together and it's hard that he's not here to share in the joy. I'm grateful I've learned to go simple and we had a great time. I don't need to make a production out of it. Emery was beaming as she went to bed. So mission accomplished!

Happy Birthday Emery! I love the peace signs to make the number 4. She is darling - oh and the outfit changing is a classic girl thing, just come to my house and see outfit after outfit strung all over the place. Some days I am not sure why I even bother doing laundry.
Happy birthday, Emery! I hope you 3 are doing well Kira. I think of you often:-)
