Happy 5th, Emma

Emma is one of the most unique people I have ever met.  She is exhausting, hard headed, strong willed, fierce, happy, loving and definitely her own person.  Her preschool years have given me more grey hairs than anything else I have experienced.  There is never a dull day with this little lady around.  Growing up with two older brothers isn't easy but she holds her own.  She follows her own path, independent and courageous.  Life would be much more boring without her in it.  
We love you more than you could ever know, Emma.  Keep being the bad%#@ that your are.  


Opening presents on the morning of her birthday




When asked what she wanted for her birthday, she always responded "party blowers".


They were a huge hit.  Who wouldn't want to hear loud, annoying party blowers at 7am?






Emma also received makeup from Gramma and Grandpa, Mimi and Papaw and Gretchen.  They know her so well.  The makeup was her favorite present by far.


Mimi and Papaw sent her a pink wig





I got a makeover as well



Headband making kit from Papaw


Tammy Fay Baker




Uncle Nick sent PJ Masks capes and masks



Grady's twist on the PJ Masks


Gramma sent some hair chalk.  She was making me "pretty"


Our neighbor, Terry, painted her a picture


After we removed the makeup, she was still purple


Working hard at school on her birthday


"My" dog, Sachi, caught in the act of being a traitor.  She looks ashamed


When the boys got home from school they got makeovers too.





They are such good sports


Love you, Myles



Myles applied makeup with Emma's strict instructions




Myles used her hair chalk


What a beauty


Everyone got kisses


This won't last long







It takes a lot of bubbles to get this makeup off




She's a mess but she's our mess

Nashville

Forty and Fabulous, we hit the street of Nashville.  What a crazy, fun town!  Well, the three of us could have fun in the most boring place but Nashville kept it interesting.  It's been 18 years since we graduated college but we haven't missed a beat.  Love these girls!!


Our first night out


As usual, Lisa found some amazing places to eat.


This was the grossest cups I have ever been served out of.


Lisa made me shop in places like this.  Ugh, she's lucky I love her


Who wears this?!


Oh right, she does






The famous Nashville wings







If only this car had three seats....



Mid-day margarita, yes please.


Homemade marshmallows and Jack Daniels



We even watched some football


We haven't changed that much.



I really wanted to go line dancing.

Until our next adventure.
