Happy Birthday to Emily

Emily turned 2 this week!  I personally can't believe how fast the time has flown.  It seems like yesterday that our little family of 3 became a family of 4.  She is truly a blessing.  Emily has quite the personality for such a little girl.  Tonight we had some friends over for cake and ice cream and she decided to show our friends a little bit of her attitude that I am always telling them about.  Emily was running down the hallway and she looked over her shoulder back at our friend and she stuck her tongue out at him!  That's my kid! TROUBLE!  I think the terrible 2's have arrived.  Wish me luck.  

Overall she had a great birthday.  She loved opening up her gifts. In fact today the day after her birthday she kept bringing me Christmas presents that were under the tree to open.  I keep having to explain to her that her birthday is over and she has to wait till Christmas to open more gifts.  Emily's response to this is, "NO!"  That's her new favorite word by the way.   My good friend Carol made Emily's birthday cake this year and it was wonderful.  Emily has a very deep love of Elmo and Carol graciously offered to make Emily an Elmo cake.  Emily loved it and it came out beautifully!
