4 Years Old!

I can't believe Emma is 4 years old now.  She is just growing up so quickly.  We were originally going to go to Disneyland on her birthday, but plans changed and we decided to go this past weekend instead, so Emma had a very low key 4th birthday.  I wanted to have a fun "water" party with her friends and let them run in the sprinklers and kiddy pool, and have a hot dog cook out, but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate.  Hopefully in a few weeks we'll be able to bust out the pool.  Anyway, Emma wanted pancakes with Buttermilk syrup for breakfast, and spaghetti for dinner.  I made her a strawberry ice cream cake, and she was so disappointed when she realized that she did not get to have her cake for breakfast.  She was also very confused when she came down for breakfast and no one else was there.  She kept asking where all the people were.:)  Oh well, we had our friends Irene, Tara, Steven, Quinn and Brooklyn come over for cake and icecream.  They have been so good to us, and have really taken Emma under their wing.  They SPOILED her rotten with presents.  We got her some play "ponies" and some nightgowns, and obviously a ticket to Disneyland, which is enough in itself, but they got her a Merida dress, a little couch with her name on it as well as a homemade quilt.  It was very kind of them.  Emma had some wonderful gifts from her grandparents, some crayons, coloring book, puzzles and some Littlest Pet Shops.  She really did get spoiled from so many people who love her.  We sure love you Emma!
