Happy 3 Years Emma!!

So, there will be an explanation next month to this.. but, we were unable to celebrate Emma's third birthday on the actual day as we were coming home from Texas. So, we celebrated on Saturday and she had no idea. But, we started with the Carlsbad road race, went to dance class, and then to the carnival! (whew we were tired) .. I also made a huge mistake with these photos. I am learning to shoot "manual" with my camera, and forgot to change some settings. A lot of these are "grainy" totally my fault. I was really mad at myself, but hey, that's what beginners do and then we learn from our mistakes right?? :) So, our great friend Mary Kay (CAPT Vann) gave us this amazing doll house. It is twice Emma's size. She is really into dolls and this was soooo cool to give her.
Emma came down from the stairs to the doll house with balloons and princess stuff everywhere.. Zack could hardly contain himself for her to "wake up"! Wild hair girl.. I swear later I did put it in bunny ears as she calls them...

Checking out the doll house.

Her cake.. not to bad huh?

Blowing out the candles. Ms. Brooke and Hailey are in the back ground.. I swear she had bunny ears.. this is post nap.. she took out those pretties! Wild hair girl!

She loves these outfits from Grandma.

Reading the cards with Megan, Hailey and Zack.. (he was beside himself).. :)

I can't believe my baby is already three. Wow. I am not sure where the time has gone, but she is a treasure every mom would want. Loving, kind, generous and so sweet. She warms our heart and every day makes us thank God that he blessed us so much. Happy birthday baby. You will never know the happiness and love you have put in our hearts! - mom & dad
