Emilyn's Family Birthday

Emilyn's Family Birthday
Combined McKenzie, Emilyn, and Abby Party
April 16

We had a fun combined birthday party for the girls at Aunt Becky's house.  The kids had a great nerf gun war, played and played, they opened presents, and had cupcakes.  If was lots of fun until poor Emilyn, the birthday girl, started feeling sick.  She ended up throwing up at the end of the party, and didn't feel well the whole night and next day.  We were grateful it waited until the end of the party to come on, and she saved her cupcake to eat when she was feeling better.  I felt so bad for her sad little birthday face.  She was a great sport though, and had a great time despite the ending.

Kaylee loved showing off her rolling skills for everyone while the girls opened presents.

Emilyn got the necklace she'd been hoping for from Aunt Wendy and family, just like her big sister got for her birthday.

Aunt Becky made her an adorable dress with a matching dress for her American Girl doll.

CJ is a good sport at letting all the little boys tackle and wrestle with him.  He may even like it a little bit!

Emilyn got an amazingly gold and glittery outfit with jewelry from Grandma Barb, as well as a whole set of painting supplies and crafts.

The last present from CJ was pretty exciting.  He got each of the girls their own fish.  It was so sweet.  Emilyn was so happy to have her own pet, and named him Gilbert.  Lucas decided his name was also M & M and Nemo.  So we call him Gilbert M & M Nemo, or a combination of those depending on our mood!

Emilyn still forced a smile for a picture for me during the candles and singing even though she was pretty miserable by this point.

Kaylee was happy in her carseat while we packed up as long as she had the balloon strings to play with.
