On Saturday, we celebrated Emma's 3rd birthday with a family BBQ. It had rained all day long, but luckily stopped enough for the guys to cook the food. It turned out to be a nice evening with Josh's folks, siblings and most of the grandparents. All day we kept asking Emma whose birthday it was and she would grin and say, "Mine!" She still waffles between saying she's two and three, but she's starting to get it figured it out. She got some fun new toys including a guitar that plays several songs, a book, new babies and a Princess scooter. She was also excited when she opened some cards to find, "Money for my piggy bank!" she would say.
I made her a monkey cake because she loves monkeys so much and Mackenzie gave her some monkey t-shirts. (Kohls had monkey and horse shirts for summer. I scored some horse ones for MJ's bday too!) It must be the year of the monkey. Whenever someone new arrived she would walk them over to look at her cake. She used to say "Mone ee," but now she can say the k sound so it has morphed into "Mone kee!" After she blew out her candles I removed them. Then, she picked them up and put them back in and pretended to blow them out again. It was so funny. Then, she started to like the candles off and put them back in. That we had to stop! It's hard to believe she is three (well almost, tomorrow is her actual birthday). She had a great day and it was fun to celebrate with everyone.
