Happy Birthday!

Emmaline turned 2 today! We had a party for her this morning with a few friends from church. The theme for the party was 'Balls' and I had a bunch of round things. Balls, bubbles, smarties, cupcakes, etc. We started off playing with the balls and the kids ran around popping bubbles and kicking the balls a bunch. We played a game where we passed the ball around and they got fruit snacks if the ball stopped with them. It was sort of hokey but the kids didn't care. She enjoyed the presents but mostly fixated on the first few presents and we had to pry her away to open the other ones. She got: several outfits (including a princess skirt), a toy broom, necklaces, puzzles, a little people set, a potty doll, and twin baby dolls as well as a new plate and cup set. She played with the dolls for a few hours after the party and I practically had to pry her away for a nap. She ended up taking two of her dolls with her to bed- so cute! Oh! Grandma Beach sent her a present a few days ago- a fuzzy pink pillow and a pink and purple blanket as well as some pompoms. Emmaline loves shoving the pompoms in her pockets and running around with them. She also loves me wrapping her up in the blanket like a baby and cuddling with the pillow. Pictures!

Emmaline and her cupcake. She made the crown a few days ago with me and was obsessed with putting as many stickers on it as I would allow. She has a napkin in her hand...like she thinks she's being danty but if you see her face...

These are two friends that came to the party: Lily and Whitney. Both of them got a kick out of throwing the balls around (in the background).

Another cake picture- you can see another guest in the background, Lincoln.

The girls got tired of running around in the sun and decided to play on the patio for a bit. Emmaline, Lily, Whitney, and Ellie.

I know my mom got a bunch of pictures so I hope I'll actually get around to getting them from her. Its always fun to see what other people noticed and took pictures of.

Happy Birthday!
