What a busy weekend! After church, Emily had another birthday party. Her classmate Jenna, had a party at All about Crafts where the kids got to paint a ceramic plate. This activity was certainly right up Emily's alley. Here is a picture of her proudly displaying her work. Unfortunately, she dropped it on her toe right after I took the picture... The plate was only chipped but it really hurt her toe!
We gave Jenna one of the Usborne Sticker Dolly Dressing books - what a hit they have been in our home. What little girl wouldn't like to select from hundreds of outfits and accessories to dress her dolls... We also put in some other little "crafty" things.
And to take a Mommy moment to brag... Emily has woken up with her alarm clock, dressed herself, and come downstairs to have her hair fixed 3 days in a row now. On Saturday, the day of Will's party, she came into our room and said "Mommy, it is cold outside and I dressed myself properly in long pants." Really... she said "properly." And to make it even better, we had not laid out her clothes the night before like we normally do. Good girl!
After 4 years of procrastination, we (okay Chris did it all...) have put lights up outside in our front yard. The kids like to run around out there and play "winter wonderland." I took some pictures last night to share.
