Happy Birthday Emilee!!

It hardly seems possible that it's been 9 years since that day that we waited so long for...the day when you FINALLY decided you would come and join our family. You were two weeks late and we were very surprised when you were soooo big. You've been a character since that day. You've brought a sparkle to our lives that we never dreamed possible. We're so thankful to have you in our family. We love you Emilee!!!!







We have a fun tradition for the girls' ninth Birthdays. Emilee was thinking that maybe she'd been passed over for this tradition. Here's when she found out that she wasn't forgotten.


Opening it up...


Finally an American Girl doll of her own!


Here's her cake. We had chocolate ice cream to go with the chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. She's a smart girl!


Victoria decorated her cake exactly how Emilee ordered.


Happy Birthday Emilee! We love you so much and are so grateful that Heavenly Father sent you to us. Just think...we REALLY wanted a boy so we could be done. Good thing we didn't get what we wanted--we got just what we needed, and we've never been sorry! Just don't grow up any more. We love you just the way you are!!!
