My Baby is 6!

i finally have time to sit down and talk about emma's long birthday weekend.

she received gifts over a few day period, so i was waiting until the whole thing was through. she had the best time, and i have to admit that i did as well.

saturday, the base did 4 hours of free childcare bc ken is deployed. the kids were at the daycare from 9-1. i ran some errands, and both of them had a super time. after i picked them up, we got home, and spencer napped.

neighbor came over to watch spencer that afternoon. i took emma and 3 girls from our neighborhood to see game plan. a disney movie starring the rock. the girls all loved it. afterwards, we went to mcdonalds to get burgers. came home to eat them. the neighbor set up the dining room with the cake i had baked and the tablecloth, cups, plates, etc. we ate dinner. emma opened presents. and then we had cake and ice cream. it was a very long day, but it was a lot of fun spending a good bit of it with emma.

yesterday, her actual birthday, she got to wear a birthday hat at school. exciting stuff for a 6 year old, of course.

her presents included:
digital camera, movie surf's up, and tinkerbell stickers from ken. what i do when he's deployed is box up the stuff, address it to emma, put daddy on it, and then set it outside so she thinks the package came from him. it's worked 2 years in a row. :)

she also got polly pockets stuff from myself and rae. drawing floor mat from friend and a puppy pillow. tinkerbell stuff. boots. drawing stuff.

she did well this year. lol

i will post some pictures here, but you can see all of them on the website on the side that says family pictures. the ones starting with the letters PA are from emma's new camera! she and her friends took over 200 pictures in less than 24 hours. thank goodness for digital, or as emma calls it, the "digiNal."
