Emily Celebrates Her Birthday with Friends

The party started with a little song of "Happy Birthday" sung to Emily by all of her friends. They then picked which bear they wanted to make and lined up to begin their activities. Emily was excited to be the line leader.

Mommy and Luke enjoyed watching Emily and her friends bring their bears to life and creating a new home for their bears.

The kids colored their bears' new home. They each picked two hearts for their bears. One heart went into their own bear and the other went into Emily's bear. Needless to say, Emily's bear has a lot of extra love inside.
While the kids waited for their turn to stuff their bear, we played a little game called, "Emily says." It was a lot of fun with silly times. Emily asked mommy to lead most of it.Each friend took their turn stuffing their bear.And then they each had the opportunity to wash their bear. Emily and Zoe pose for a picture with their new bear friends.Each friend signed their name on Emily's special birthday bear so she would always remember who came to celebrate her birthday with her.Then everyone took turns naming their bear.Here is a picture of the whole gang.
And don't forget little brother, Luke.

Of course, we had some cake. Emily enjoyed handing them out. She decorated them herself.
