On turning five

Our little Emma turned five years old on December 30th. Time is flying away from me! My little one will be going to Kindergarten in the fall and she is sooo ready. She would go to preschool twice a day rather than twice a week. Sometimes it gives me a complex to see how independent and adventurous she is. A mom likes to be needed sometimes. This year was her year to choose an activity for a "family party". She wanted to go to Kangaroo Zoo, have shrimp for dinner, and then to for ice cream. She walked up to each adult at Kangaroo Zoo and informed them that it was her birthday and that she turned 5. She has never been shy!




We got one chance to take a picture of her with the Kangaroo and this is what we got! Oh well, she was thrilled anyway. She got to tell him it was her birthday and that she turned 5.














She got a pack of Disney Princess Barbies and plays with them all day everyday! Mom also made a hooded butterfly towel for her, the boys gave her a Tinkerbell action figure set and Jenna gave her some dress ups. Overall, she was one happy little princess!


Our Emma is a very special part of our family. She is fun loving, caring, good at sharing and eager to live life to the fullest. Whether it is keeping up with the boys as they climb "just one more step up" in the never ending quest to attain flight into the Love sac or playing princess with Jenna making sure they have just the right accessories, she does it all with her whole heart and enthusiasm. She loves to see if she can give the longest kisses and tightest hugs before bed. She makes up the most amazing songs about everyday things and is always singing. She also draws the most fantastic stories. I am continually amazed at her imagination and creativity. We all love and appreciate Emma so much. I am grateful for the chance to ponder all the things I love about her.
