Happy Birthday Emilyn!

Happy Birthday Emilyn!
April 15

Emilyn was so excited to be a big girl and turn 3 years old!  That morning she got to choose what we had for breakfast.  She chose one of her favorites, pancakes.  We put a candle in one of them and sung happy birthday to her.  She was grinning ear to ear.  After church we had a low key birthday party BBQ at home.  We had some dog decorations that we put up and we got her some balloons.  She couldn't have been happier with what we did, and was very easily pleased.  Grandma Barb was out of town with Aunt Megan who was having our newest little niece Abby, and Grandpa wasn't feeling up to coming, but Mike and Wendy and their girls, and Dave and Becky and their family all joined us for dinner and cake.  I can't believe my baby is 3! 
P.S. She changed into a Christmas dress right at the beginning of the party!

 Matisyn thought it was funny to put her fingers in her mouth like Emilyn.  She was being extra nice to her sister since it was her birthday.

 Playing with the balloons the night before.

Matt's watermelon masterpiece, it was supposed to be a shark, and then Matisyn made eyes for it and now it is up to your own interpretation!

One of the biggest hits of the night was Emilyn's very own root beer from Uncle Mike.  She was so proud and so excited to have her own little cans.  She adores Uncle Mike!

 We got her a dollhouse from the Dollhouse Festival back in October.  We actually got it for both of the girls, but when they got another awesome dollhouse from Grandma Barb for Christmas we decided to save it until later.  The big girls were definitely more interested in putting it all together than her.  Emilyn has loved it since then though, especially all of the little furniture you can move around.

 This sticker book from Dave and Becky's family has entertained for hours, Matisyn has pretty much taken it over and made some pretty great creations!

 She loves her tangled Barbie from Mike and Wendy's family.

One of her favorite presents from us, her princess umbrella.

 

Uncle Chunk and Heather sent Emilyn a birthday surprise package in the mail.  She was so excited to get mail, and loves her Princess Rapunzel wedding dress-up dress!
