Emma Turns TWO

This is how I imagined Emma would be on her birthday. "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" was a little too close to home when we celebrated Emma's 2nd birthday on Saturday. I am going to contribute that to the fact that she has been a little under the weather. Anyways, we had a low key, casual, and all out PINK birthday for Emma. When I say everything was pink I am not kidding...plates, napkins, tablecloth, cups, balloons, cupcakes and frosting, birthday banner, and finally the birthday girl's dress. A bonus $7 purchase at Target! It was all too much fun decorating. Well, the tears slowly faded after we realized that all she wanted was to open the presents on the table from Grandma and Grandpa. After a few opened presents we were finally able to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY and saw a smile on Emma's face as she realized she was going to get to eat a pink cupcake! Her big present waited for her outside. Dad spent more than a couple of hours in the cold the day before putting together the most adorable play house. She was so excited and although she kept telling us she was cold, she insisted on staying outside a little longer to play with her new house. Here are some more pictures of Emma's special day:
