Emily's 2nd Birthday Party

We celebrated Emily's 2nd birthday in our church Fellowship Hall on January 16th. We had a great turn out of family and friends, and Emily thoroughly enjoyed herself! Thank you to everyone who came out on that rainy Saturday!

"The" cake-
Emily saw a Barbie cake back on our September
beach trip and was mesmerized. She was more excited
about the Barbie cake than anything else!

We saw a pinata at another birthday party a few

hit at her party, too!

Running over Pappy, Ms. Betty, and Grandmother's toes--
I don't know why they let her do this, but they did!!

She couldn't wait to check out her presents!

Aunt Megan gave her this four wheeler!
Here she was back at home after the party. She had
just run into the wall and was giggling!

We had a wonderful time and were so grateful for all the family and friends who helped make Emily feel so special! She was so dosed up on sugar that we almost never got her to bed that night! :0)
