Emma Is Two

Wednesday, January 14, 2009

Yesterday was Emma's birthday. We were going to take her to the zoo, but Emmanuel was sick. So while Ben took his nap, me and Emma snuck out to get breakfast at Denny's and then to get a balloon bouquet from HEB. Ha I know Denny's is kind of ghetto, but they have the best kid's menu I've seen in town. Emma was playing with her balloons all day, especially the Dora balloon. We had about 5 small gifts for her, but I didn't want to give them to her all at once, so I had her open them up one at a time throughout the day. This way she got to play with it (or watch a movie) for a couple of hours and get bored with it and then she moved on to the next. We had a little cake and some candles for her to blow out after dinner, and she kept asking us to re-light the candles because she wanted to blow them out again. It was all good practice for her big birthday celebration this Saturday.
