Emily's Birthday

As most of you know, Emily's Birthday is December 24th. Since this is too close to Christmas, we have kept with tradition and celebrated her birthday on the Saturday of the week before before Christmas. This gives at least a week between celebrations. This year that was on December 15th.

Since we had Kirsten's Company Christmas Party the night before, the girls spent that night with my parents. It worked out rather well. It gave us plenty of time to get the house ready for the party on Saturday Morning. It was a pretty simple affair involving my parents and Kirsten's parents. Emily, of course, had a very good time. Any day is a good day if you get presents. :-)

I insisted on getting her what I thought was the perfect gift. One of those somewhat indestructible working digital cameras. She is always wanting take pictures using mine, after all. Here is a picture of her using her camera.



Below is a picture of her using what turned out to be her actual favorite present. Yep, it is fake makeup.



This gift was from my parents. Actually, they also got her one of those real makeup sets for girls. We were somewhat taken aback by the gift. I guess it must have showed on our faces, because Mom mailed us the gift receipt on Monday so that we could take it back.

Below is a picture of Kaitlyn playing with her favorite thing from Emily's Birthday Party. Yes, that is a balloon. She had hours and hours of fun with the balloons.
