Emily's 5!!! Moments from her big day (shared with Thanksgiving)

Here are Emily's 5 yr Birthday Pictures!

This was entirely her idea!

Emily had a great day filled with lots of fun and excitement.

First she started the day with the Macy's Thankgiving Day Parade on T.V.

Then, we took her bowling, and she won! She beat Mommy, Daddy and Grandma!

We then enjoyed the afternoon playing in the cul de sac while we waited for our Thanksgiving Dinner... followed by opening gifts and the birthday cake!!!And... Emily's favorite birthday gift, Baby Alive! She first named her Alice, but later at bedtime, changed her name to Sally. (This gift was a group effort between, Mommy, Daddy, Mom-Mom, Bob-Bob, Grandma and Grandpa. Thanks for helping to fill her biggest wish for her birthday.)She was so excited about putting her to bed, and was sure to cuddle with her all night. Her favorite part of being a mommy to baby Sally is when she says, "I love you mommy." It brings a real joy to her face and heart.

So, if anyone is wondering what Emily needs for Christmas (or a belated bday gift), she needs a large package (or two) of preemie size diapers and Baby Alive baby food!!!

It's really cute to hear Emily and Sally talk back and forth. It's sooo sooo cute!

Second favorite gift... her boombox. She's having fun playing her favorite kids' cds and playing games with Luke to the music. It's very cute to watch them. Will Keith get any sleep today? Probably not!!!
