It's Emily's Birthday!!!!

Guess who is 12 and going into Young Women's.  Yep, thats right our Emily.  She was so excited and couldn't wait for this day to happen.  We woke up and had our traditional birthday breakfast. This year Emily asked for Bagels, cream cheese, fruit and a banana shake.  We also had potatoes, bacon and eggs to have a bagel sandwich for those less interested in cream cheese (Doug).   Emily was literally on the edge of her seat waiting to be able to open presents after breakfast.  We made it to the family room and let her open her two gifts.  She first opened her birthday outfit and seemed to love it.  Next she opened her big gift..... outdoor challenge games for the wii.  We have been playing these games none stop for the last 24 hours.  It actually made Emily out of breath the first time and she had to take her inhaler.  Kind of funny!!!

Birthday Girl!

After Church we came home to get ready for Emily's special birthday dinner of strawberry chicken, crab angels, wonton soup, and ham fried rice.  (Emily loves my Chinese cooking skills.)
Once again Emily was excited to open more gifts.  After the gifts we had Emily's Texas chocolate sheet cake along with an extra large cookie.
