Emily's 3rd Birthday

Emily's party was held May 8th, and although it wasn't as warm outside as we'd hoped (no swimming!), we all still had a very nice time. The party was relatively small, but Emily still had a lot of fun, especially when her friends Jordyn and Colton showed up!

This is a gift from Aunt Sharon and Megan...while they were in Texas, they found the skirt and wings, and they packed them into their bags and bought them back to Pennsylvania via Colorado :) Em loved prancing around in her little tutu and wings!

Emily had been swinging between a Dora party and a Tinkerbell party. We finally settled on a Dora party. But, again, the move messed up the best-laid plans, and we couldn't find Dora invitations in time. Luckily Emily also likes princesses, so a Princess Party it was!

In addition to the cake, Emily's Grandma Sipe felt she also needed cupcakes (Em had asked for them a few days before). So...the kids all got to blow out a candle, and all the kids got to have too much icing :)
Dan and I got Emily a slide, and we set it up in mom's yard to surprise her. Of course, we forgot to do this before she did a costume change from her purple fairy outfit to her heart jammies that Grandma and Grandpa Koons got her. She couldn't get enough of the slide. I personally don't see the fun in continuously going up and down, but it seems to entertain her just fine.
