Emma's Birthday Weekend!

Emma turned 4 on Thursday the 4th! Whoo Hoo! She had a great birthday, kicked off with our regular tradition of donuts and chocolate milk at Hy-Vee. Then she headed to school for her first day of extended hours and lunch at preschool! That was some excitement! In fact, she just yelled down that she can't hardly sleep for how excited she is to go back to school tomorrow! Then we had dinner and opened some presents - her prized Barbie guitar, as pictured! She is a rock star! And then on Friday, she and I embarked on a trip to Chicago with two of our closest friends and their daughters for the wedding of one of our babysitters. Farrell and Andy had a beautiful wedding and were gracious enough to invite Emma, Jaeda and Shawna to be a part of it. The other pictures are of the three of them all dressed up and hanging out in our hotel room for our girls trip! Oh, there's also a shot of us mom's hanging out rooting on our Chiefs with an itty bitty TV all dressed up - too bad they choked! But hey, we're die hards! They all did so amazing - that's alot of driving and alot of waiting (as Jaeda so eloquently put it) for one weekend and three little girls! I was impressed with them - plus they're all 3 such little beauties! It was a great way to celebrate Em's 4th year of life!
