I feel like I've been behind since the day Emma was born, so it is only fitting that her 3rd birthday post happens 2 1/2 weeks after the actual event, right?
Em's birthday was on a Monday this year. When Lexi turned three, Paul and I took her to Build a Bear and it was such a fun, sweet experience that we wanted to do the same for Em. Nana and Papa took Lexi for the afternoon and we took Emma. She picked out this sparkly kitty and named her Lily. Notice the Sofia the First dress she chose for the stuffed animal - so Emma!
Lexi had "planned the decorations" for Em's special day and I could only describe it as a color explosion. Part Luau, part rainbow, part pink and purple - it was random but somehow deliberately captured the spirit of our newly minted 3 year old!
Nana and Papa came over for dinner, cake, and presents Sunday evening and Emma loved opening her tutus and new outfits from them! Grandma also sent new toys for Emma's dollhouse.
Lexi was either starting to not feel well or was not enjoying Emma being the center of attention.
And it just wouldn't be a birthday around here, if we weren't giving the gift of germs! Emma had some "tummy issues" Sunday evening, but Lexi started throwing up in the early hours of Monday morning. So even though I had thought I would have to spend Emma's birthday at work, I wound up staying home with two sick little girls that day. I also landed my very own sick day Tuesday after I caught whatever little bug the girls had the previous days.
Emma was mostly unaffected by Monday evening and thoroughly enjoyed wearing her new roller skates and Pirate Fairy dress around the house!
