Emma's Day

The afternoon before Emma's birthday, we unwrapped the big box that UPS had dropped off a few days earlier.  She and Sara were both thrilled to find this little tykes car from G & G.  How we lasted without one for nearly five years, I'll never know.
 Emma has been the happy passenger while Sara dutifully pushes her around the house.
 On the morning of her birthday, we took a few pictures of our One Year Old!
 Such a big girl!  Sara helped me make mini-cupcakes (no frosting) for Emma to share with her friends at school.  According to her teacher, the kids devoured them.
 I made spaghetti for Emma's birthday dinner - not fancy, but it was something I knew everyone would eat, so that qualifies as a success these days.  Sara raced through dinner, anxious to sing to Emma and then eat the cupcakes she had iced for us.  While Sara worked on the mini-cupcakes, Emma tore into her cake.
 She wasted no time ...
 Blurry from clapping ...
 Offering to share ...
 So, so happy with her lot ...
Between the spaghetti and the cake, Emma went straight from her chair to the tub.  Although that didn't thrill her, I'd say it was a happy birthday!
