Emily's Birthday Party

Ok, sorry it took me so long to post pictures of Emily's party. She had an Abby Caddaby and Elmo party. Well, mostly Abby. She's more girly than Elmo.

This little Elmo sings 'Happy Birthday' and one other song and says different phrases. Matt and his dad also got an Elmo balloon that sings too when you hit it. She kept going back and forth between the two.
Sam was helping Emily open her present from him.
She would lift the clothes up for a second and then tossed them to the side.
This was one of the big presents she got. A tricycle with a helmet and knee and elbow pads. I told Matt we need to get a little horn and basket for it. She wanted to ride the bike, but we still had a lot of presents to open.

My mom got Emily a Disney Princess dress-up clothes set. It all came in a neat treasure chest. These are the glass slippers that came with it. She likes to wear them and make loud noises with them in the kitchen on the tile floor.
Sam needed to test out Emily's bike...
...while Emily tested out the cake.
They both looked so cute sitting at the little table. Emily was more into her piece of cake.

Sam wanted to try out the clothes too.
After the party we went to eat dinner with Josh, Shannon, Sam, and Ben and both sets of grandparents. Emily and Sam really liked coloring. They were both sharing nicely with each other. Well, at least during this part.

After we got back to the house, Emily wanted to watch 'My Little Pony'. Emily and Sam both climbed up into my mom's lap to watch it. We have to watch her with her DVD's because she will go into the Star Wars room and pick out a movie and take the DVD out of the case and bring it to you. She's already ruined a few movies with her fingerprints all over them.
The next night we went to eat with Jessi, Chris, and Mckayla for Matt and Emily's birthday. They remembered how Emily really liked to vaccuum...

... and so they got her a mini 'My Dirt Devil'. Emily loves it and keeps vaccuuming around the house. I just wish it really worked though.
Every night she brings us her helmet and pads for us to help her put them on. She loves snapping and unsnapping the helmet straps.


Here are a couple of videos from the day.

This was on the third try of blowing out the candle. Everytime she would do it Matt wasn't in a good view of it or he forgot to turn the camera on. It was really funny when she started blowing her bangs up and at one point blew a raspberry.

Thanks to everyone who came down for Emily's party and for all of the wonderful gifts and for making this a great second birthday for Emily. We are so blessed to have such loving family and friends. We love you all!!

As Abby Caddaby says, Twinkle Out!!
