Emmie's 3rd Birthday Party

Jack and I headed to Fort Mill to celebrate Emmie's upcoming 3rd birthday with her, her family, and her friends. She had the Fun Bus come, and the kids looked like they had F-U-N!Emmie's cousin, Sarah Beth, was so happy to be there to celebrate! The Ward family has two girls, and only grandgirls, so baby Christian will be quite the little prince when he makes his arrival soon! Laurie did a monkey themed party complete with banana sugar cookies and a precious monkey cake-it matched the invitation perfectly!When Laurie was lighting the candles, Emmie was saying, "It's my birthday! It's MY birthday!" I wonder if she knows they'll be singing to her again for her real birthday in a few short days!! Encouraged by her Aunt Lindy, the birthday girl snuck a little taste of the cake! It's her party-she's allowed to, right? :)After she opened all the other gifts, Laurie let her know there was one more outside from mommy and daddy. As soon as she spotted it, she gasped for breath and then ran to her Barbie Jeep! She was so excited! She got in, put her foot on the pedal, and went in reverse! Cliff immediately ran to the rescue!Thanks for having us to your party, Emmie!! We had a great time, and look forward to seeing you soon! You'll be a big sister then, and a great one, we know!
Love,
Jack and Michelle
