Happy 9th Birthday, Emily!!! Yes, her birthday was 20 days ago, but 'tis the season to be busy and with Thanksgiving so late in November, it threw everything off, including my blogging.
Still, Emily's birthday was great! Her actual birthday was on a Sunday, so that morning we opened up a couple of gifts before church and then after dinner we had the family over for an ice cream sundae bar! (Such a hit, I will definitely do one again--a nice change from cake!)

Christian and Auntie Erin set up camp underneath the table |

We loved watching her smile as she opened up her gifts! |

Big smiles for Legos! |

One of the sweetest moments was when Christian sat down at the piano and played "Happy Birthday" for Emily. Now, Christian will be starting piano lessons in January, but he had worked very hard (and it took him a couple of minutes) to play the song for her. He was so patient and brave for playing in front of everyone! Brought a tear to my eye!
We love our big girl! (Still can't believe that it's been NINE years since she came into our lives!) Happy birthday, Emily!
