BIG 5

Our little Emma has hit the BIG age of 5! She has been talking about turning 5 for a little while & was very excited when her birthday finally rolled around.  She chose a baking party this year that ended up being more like "a little bit of everything" party. She really wanted a pinata so there was that + chef hat  & cookie decorating + the present passing game + just plain old playing with friends! You never know how long or short an activity is going to be & we had to do a little improvising & stretching to take up time, but the girls all had lots of fun. We made each girl their own apron to take home, which turned out really cute. We should have taken a group pic, but pictures don't make it to the top of the list when you're trying to keep a group of 5 year olds busy... and happy!

Emma is always thinking of others. She makes pictures & wants to take them to people she knows, she'll usually be the first to share or give up something for someone else & she even makes her own self lose in games just because she doesn't want someone else to lose. She is pretty easy going, but can hold her own against older sisters! She is very loving & has a soft heart when the timing is right.
