Happy Birthday, Mimi!!

Yesterday, we had the first of 3 birthday parties for Emily. 3 years old!!! Can you believe it? Well, she will be on the 10th, anyway. We celebrated early since Uncle Jason and Aunt Heidi were going to be here. She was so excited to FINALLY get to open presents, have cake, blow out her candles, wear her crown and sing happy birthday to her. She's been ready since September, asking us almost EVERYDAY if it's her birthday AND practicing singing to herself and me(since my b-day is Monday). She will have more birthday fun ON her birthday with my family and then princess fun on the 14th with her two best friends from school/church, Emma and Isabella.
Emily wanted to have a "princess" birthday, so she could wear a crown. She decorated it with stickers all by herself. That's her new phrase..."I do it all by myself, Mom."
Clutching her new chapstick from Ja and Heidi and checking out her "dress-up lady bug" card(it had a lady bug w/a crown and wand on it).
"Oh, wow, MOM!!" Granny and Papa found some play food for her kitchen. 85 pieces. Whew.
The final shot of our new floor!!! It's done! The boys came over after the birthday cake and finished the floor. It's so gorgeous! I've been walking on that blue felt since April, so this is miraculous! :) It looks so great with the light cabinets and khaki walls. I LOVE IT!! As Emily told us, "Papa and Jason fix Daddy's floor and it's good as new". I have no idea where she heard "good as new", but she's right. It's good as new!! Oh, and Jackie sent me an e-mail that our family pictures were ready. YES!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
