All good things must come to an end, including birthdays. It's been a busy birthday, but a fun one! Emily chose Applebee's for lunch, and she got a balloon and ice-cream for her dessert, then off to ice-skating and tennis, and finally home! It was so hard for her to wait for Daddy to get home before she opened presents. She wanted to open just one...so I said ok!
Then we had pizza and cupcakes, and she opened the rest of her presents! It was like Christmas again! She said her favorite gift was the Polly Pocket shopping mall, from Alex, but she was also happy to see Emily, an American Girl doll with matching pajamas, and a Hannah Montana guitar. Such a fun, memorable day, and it's already over. We'll get the chance to celebrate one more time, though, when her friends come over this weekend for her party! Birthdays are the best!
Good night Emily...and Emily!
She looks so happy, I love it. I think they all have the same wish list at this age, that's exactly what Maya would have picked out. Happy birthday Emily.
ReplyDeleteWas her 5th birthday hard on you emotionally? My son turns 5 in April and I almost cry just thinking about it. He's growing up and I can't do a thing about it.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of her with the doll and the matching jackets, just too cute.
