Emma's turn.

I love her. What can I say more? She lights up our family and makes us all laugh at her randomness.

Her birthday was pretty low-key at our house. She opened up one present, which was a little dalmatian puppy (fake, by the way) which she was totally thrilled about. She kept kissing it and giggling every time it would crawl across the table.

Since her birthday was on a Sunday, she enjoyed or should I say endured three hours of church. Afterwards, we headed over to grandma's house for a little birthday party. We frosted cookies and ate some yummy cake and ice cream!

So now, Emma has been two for a couple of months and has grown to be quite the little girl.

Currently, she:

Loves moving her head to the beat of any Taylor Swift song.

Lives off a special diet of cheese, candy, chocolate milk, shrimp ?, and more cheese.

Gives very big squeezes (aka hugs).

Insists on dressing herself.

Humbly declares to anyone and everyone that she is a princess.

Prefers wearing a dress everyday of the week.

Calls people on the phone and talks incessantly until i take the phone away from her.

Loves to color and read books.

Prefers only two movies - "Babe" and "101 Dalmatians".

Finds joy in wrestling her brother, dad, and twin cousins.

Cannot go on with life without her "tee-tee" (aka blankie).

We love you, Emma and all of the funny things you say. You are a sass as well as a rough-and-tough little girl! Thanks for bringing us so much joy.
