Last week Emily had her 12th birthday. She invited Grandma and Grandpa to join us for dinner. We had lasagna and breadsticks for dinner as Emily requested. Then we opened presents.
Megan, Nathan, and Melissa watched the present opening from their warm seats on the wooden kitchen bench.
Emily was very pleased with the gifts she received. But she picked most of them out so she should be pleased. The thing she is holding in her hand is eyeshadow.
She set right to work building her new lego house. She told us she had to finish it before she went to bed so that she could play with it.
On Saturday she invited over some friends for a birthday party. You may notice that Emily's hair is shorter and layered. That was another one of her birthday wishes. A really nice lady cut it at Greatclips and she did a great job.
Emily got lots of lotion, body wash, and body spray from the Bath and Body Works store as gifts. She will be smelling sweet set for at least a year!
Today I am thankful for:
the beautiful tulip that Holly made in art class. It hangs on the wall in my kitchen.
The tulips in my backyard. They looked like this on April 12th.
and 11 days later they looked like this
Happy May everyone!

Happy Birthday Emily!! Looks like she got lots of "grown up" stuff and then a few things to prove she's still a little girl at heart.
What is her favorite Bath and Body scent? Wow, Holly is really a great artist. Lucky you. You get to display it in your home. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful tulips! And the tulip drawing is so cool!!
