Emma's 2nd Birthday

Thanksgiving was extra special this year since not only did we get to give thanks for our many Blessings but we got to celebrate Emma's 2nd birthday. She had a great time tearing through all of her gifts. She was so sweet though because the first thing she opened was a plush Elmo that we told her was from Josh. She took that to mean that Elmo was for Josh and tried to give it to him. Once we convinced her that Elmo was hers, she tried to give Josh some of her other packages. I love her willingness to share with him; may it continue always (wishful thinking, I know). After presents, it was time for some cake, which of course had to be Elmo this year. It wasn't perfect but I was pretty proud of my decorating effort. We had to blow out the candle twice because the video camera wasn't rolling the first time through. She got it right away the first time but needed a little extra assistance on the second round. Here are a few highlights from her birthday.
