Emma's birthday recap

Emma had chicken pox on her birthday, so we spent the day at home. Luckily, we had already scheduled her party for the following weekend.

We started the day with presents!

Emma received a much anticipated gift...a gift she's been wanting for several years...a Wii!

Of course we played it right away!

Birthday dinner on the deck.

And cake...decorated with musical notes in honor of one Emma's great loves...music!

Then the party!!! It was at My Gym, which proved to be a tremendously fun place to celebrate!

Emma asked for brownies instead of birthday cake, so I made individual brownie muffins. The kids loved them!

Emma and her baby cousin Islay. She turned one the day before Emma turned eight. Emma thinks that is SO special!
