Me and the birthday girl

I love this picture of them!

We had a fun day celebrating Emma's birthday.  We started the day off at the movies for the free movie series and saw "Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakuel"  She actually did really well.  Something about those chipmunk movies entrances her.  After the movie we came home for a quick lunch and then headed out to the pool where her friend Ryleigh and her sister Kinsley met us.  We spent several hours there before heading home for naptime.  After naps, we waited for Marc to get home so we could take our girl out for dinner.  Her choice.  Of course she chose "Sisters"  or Cici's.  ;)  After dinner we came home for cake, ice cream, and presents!  Emma got her own bike helmet (so she doesn't have to wear her brother's old one anymore), and a new tricycle.  Our old one was really hard to steer and pedal, so now she has her own so she can ride along with her brother and sister.  After Marc put it together we headed outside to test it out.  The kids had a blast riding around the block until bedtime.  It was a very special day celebrating this little lady!
