Emma's 9th birthday


My beautiful, smart, and clever Emma lou turned 9!  She's almost to double digits!  I can't believe it.  :)  For her birthday breakfast she chose the following...  Breakfast of champions!


She took donuts to school to share with her classmates as a birthday treat.  And after school, the goodies kept coming - we seem to be good at eating lots of sugary treats on birthdays and holidays- We made a chocolate sheet cake and the kids decorated with Emma favorites... m&m's and oreos...




We skyped with my family in Utah while singing Happy Birthday and opening gifts.  We miss my family so much, especially on special occasions like this.  It was so nice to have them with us - albeit over the laptop. 


Present time!  Emma really loves clothes right now, so she got a lot of that!  And my family sent Emma lots of birthday money, which she used to buy more clothes!



And the big present was new bigger golf clubs - Our Emma is getting tall!



Later that week we went to a rock climbing gym as an Emma birthday outing - sadly the pictures I took there fell victim to my broken phone - these were all I could salvage...




On Sunday, we celebrated Emma's birthday at our house with her birthday twin, Uncle Peter!




This progression of candle blowing pics made me laugh...
