Happy 4th Emma

Feisty. Wild. Sassy. Just a few words that people use to describe you (often said with a hint of negativity).  I prefer to think of you as Fearless. Fierce. Bold.  Sweet, kind and gentle are what I use to think of of when I thought of little four year old girls.  Now, I  know better ;).  You will grow into the kind of woman that I would want in my circle of friends (sweet ladies are often boring).  As a toddler you were a mess but I can see through to latter years and you are going to be one hell of a adult. 

 As your mama, I promise to never break your wild spirit but to let you spread your wings and fly.  



Happy 4th! (or to Josh and I, Happy-thank-God-you-are-not-3-anymore)


A birthday cupcake for breakfast


We let her open one present before school


She grabbed the one from Papaw and Mimi


Thank You!!


Josh and I got her a kitchen 


Shelley and Peter found her all sorts of fun kitchen items



Her very own coffee maker!  This girl loves her coffee


Looks like she wants a cup


and a pizza making set


She bossed the boys around in the kitchen for a bit


Look who really loves the kitchen


At night she got another cupcake






She couldn't wait for her party.


all her friends came to sing to her


I have never seen someone more excited for people to sing Happy Birthday




Our little fiery girl actually caught her hair on fire.  I'm not surprised.


Two of the most wonderful gifts!  Melissa sewed her an adorable pillow and our neighbor, Ruth, made her a blanket.


For days afterwards, Emma insisted on having candles on all her meals.  


I was required to sing Happy Birthday each time.  Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you....
