So Emily's 3rd Birthday was Monday. It went great. Everyone came over for cake and ice cream and Emily had a riot. She absolutely loved every minute of it. Well lets start from Sunday night. Heather Selby made the cake for little E out of fondant and dropped it off Sunday night. Then we had popcorn, M&Ms and watched Dumbo and snuggled on the couch. She wanted to stay up all night but she fell asleep in my lap around 10:30 pm. We put her into bed and then she started crying saying she didn't want to sleep yet, but within 1.5 minutes was totally out. When she woke up Monday, I was out getting her present(big bike) I called her on the phone and the whole time we were talking she thought I was Aunt Pam!! DUH. So every 5 minutes, she kept asking if everyone was here yet for her birthday until 2 pm. Talk about annoying.! Anyways, she had a blast opening her presents: Couch, care bear, Candy land, Books, foam stickers and then finally her princess bike. We had her close her eyes and when she opened them, she got really excited, big huge round eyes in disbelief, lifted herself off the chair with her arms and then jumped out of her seat. It was absolutely precious, priceless moment. Anyways, kids played in the water, rode bikes, threw sand at each other and then ate pizza for dinner with Tristan, Dylan and Kendelia. Then when she went to bed, I cuddled with her in her bed and we both fell asleep at 9:30. It was a great day for everyone.
In other news, we have an open house on Sunday from 1-3 or 4. So now it's power cleaning time and throwing things out or in the attic in the garage. I can't believe how much crap we gained over 8 yrs. WOW!!!
Oh, my grandpa was hospitalized today with the start of pneumonia at 83 yrs old. That is not good., So keep him in your thoughts please. That is all for now.
