Josh and Sam's Birthday

Saturday, we went to Stillwater for Josh and Sam's Elmo birthday party. We had lots of fun. I just had to show off the Elmo cake that Shannon made. She did it all by hand. I would have been too nervous to draw all of that on the cake. It turned out really cute.


After Emily and Sam woke up from their naps they were playing together and chasing each other around the house. Matt took this video of Emily running after Sam. They would start in the living room and run to the hallway. When Emily would find him they would both start squeeling at each other and then run the other way. It was pretty funny. It kept them occupied for a little while until they started getting tired.




This other video was before the other guests came over. Emily was eating a lunchable in the highchair while Sam was throwing one of his birthday cards like a ball. Everytime he would throw it Emily would yell 'Uh-Oh'.

Josh and Shannon also have a cat. Emily's not used to animals since we don't have any. Oh, I forgot, we do have some neighbors cats that venture into our backyard and lounge around on our patio furniture. I'll tell Emily to look at the kitties and she'll point to them and bang on the door to get their attention. But, Josh and Shannon's cat was there in the flesh and Emily went nuts when she saw it. She was trying to chase it and she even got close enough to touch the cat. She was going after the cat yelling 'ki-dee'. She was even crawling up in between other peoples legs like it was nothing. She was cracking me up. Of course, we don't have any videos of that.
