Emmy's Birthday

Saturday we celebrated Emma's 9th birthday for the family at our house. She will have another birthday party this Saturday with her friends. It is hard to believe she is nine years old. Time surely does pass quickly.

She told me she wanted a vanilla and chocolate swirl cake. She didn't care how it was decorated but just that it was swirled. I decided that I would make cupcakes because I had found this cute little cupcake stand at Walmart. I also found these adorable silicone cupcake holders. Perfect for a spring time birthday.

Waiting patiently while Grandad finishes lighting the one candle that I could not light.

She made her wish and it must come true for she blew out every single candle. See how much smoke nine candles makes?

Byron had a sad day with a buzzed haircut. But when the cake came out he was the first one to raise his hand and all thoughts of missing hair disappeared.

Jed took Emma and Lucy to the Saturday market and they got to have their faces painted. Doesn't Emma look so grown up?

I love the paint job. They look so cute and it washed off very easily that night.

Oh how she has grown.

This is just for you Emma. When daddy lets you read this we thought you would like Grandad's goofy face. I think this was when he was threatening to eat all your cupcakes.
