She is 9

 I can not believe that this girl is 9 years old!My New Years baby is growing up way to fast.

 She had fun celebrating with a polka dot cake.  I always feel like her birthday is squished into the holiday season, but I hope that she still feels special on her day.

She celebrated with a fun party at the bowling alley. Gotta love those shoes.

 She had to wait a few days to get the gift that she really wanted because this American Girl doll didn't come out until Jan. 1st.  Her Sage doll fits Emma to a T because she loves horses and art.

We love the smart, sweet, beautiful girl of ours! Happy Birthday Emma!

New Year 2013

We rang in the new year with festive horns, hats, and noise makers.

We opened our resolution cards for 2012 and realized the accomplishments we had made and some that we still need to work on.

Allie decided that she LOVES sparkling cider and donuts dripping in chocolate and colorful sprinkles make celebrations that much more enjoyable.

We always start off the new year by singing Happy Birthday to our new years baby. How is 9 already?
