Emma's Birthday Party

This past Saturday we celebrated Emma's 2nd birthday with some of her friends. When her first guests arrived, Emma acted so shy and buried her face in the couch. However, she quickly warmed up as more of her friends arrived. We played for a little while downstairs while Emma's friends arrived. Then we took advantage of some decent temperatures and headed outside. We had bubbles, sidewalk chalk, balls, which were fun but the most fun came in the form of the big rock in our backyard. Emma has often demonstrated how fun it is to climb on, slide off, and jump off and her friends totally agreed. After a little outside play, we headed in for some cupcakes (Elmo-themed of course) and little more playtime before everybody headed home. Emma had a lot of fun and it was so fun to watch her interact with her friends since they are now starting to play together rather than just in the same area. The four of us will celebrate her actual birthday on Thursday so instead of pie this year, we'll be having birthday cake! Here is a slide show with the highlights of Emma's party.
