Our sweet baby girl turned 9 on May 23rd. She had been counting down the days for weeks and was soooooo excited when the day finally came! Her birthday is always around Memorial Day and a little tricky to schedule so we had her parties on 2 different weekends.
She wanted a sleepover for her friend party and invited her sweet friends. The girls were amazing. They got along great and were asleep by 10:30.

They made their own pizzas.
And did some face painting.
Then it was time for a movie and bed. They were quiet until around 7 the next morning and played well (even letting Landon join) until parents came to pick them up.

Her birthday was on a Wednesday and she wanted to go to Steak N Shake for chili, then Urban Swirl for frozen yogurt. She got The Greatest Showman CD, Amazon gift card, diapers for her Baby Alive dolls, and some new clothes.
Then, the next weekend, we celebrated with family! It was gorgeous outside so we ate lunch on the back deck after opening gifts.

Emerson is so thoughtful and loving. She enjoys helping people and likes to be in charge! She is so creative and loves art, cooking, and crafts. We are so blessed to have this young lady as part of our family.
