Little Ladybug's Journey: Day 1 of the BIG Birthday Weekend!

Hello Everyone,

Emily and her bestie Kylie

WOW...it has been exactly one month to the day since my last blog post. I can't believe a month of school has already gone by. Emily and mommy have been busy just living our day to day life. Emily is very excited for her birthday party and for turning 5!!!

Tonight after school, we had lots of visitors to begin Emily's big weekend of fun! Grandma Judi, Teri, and Kylie Hochhalter all came over for a visit and to bring the wee one birthday gifts! Emily was ECSTATIC to get a new big barn with lots of animals!!! She is really into horses lately, and doesn't know it, but will be getting some new horses from someone else this weekend!

She LOVED her new bank for her ever growing collection of change/money from her bestie Kylie! It is a doggy bank that wiggles it's ears and barks when you insert coins! It was a HUGE hit!

After the Hochhalter family left, my dear friend Jodi, who is a colleague from work, came by with a gift for Emily, a Belle costume. Now Jodi knows that tomorrow's party is a Beauty and the Beast theme, and that Emily loves Belle and Beast. So she thought it would be cute to get one for Emily. They only had 12-18 month size or size 7. She got the small one and it actually looks like a shirt on Emily instead of a dress. The funny part was when Jodi arrived, Emily greeted her at the door, Jodi gave her the bag, Emily saw what it was, and IMMEDIATELY took her jeans off and wanted to put it on. TOO FUNNY! Front door was wide open, and Jodi and mommy helped Emily change into the costume. Then she went running around the house in her panties and size 12-18 month Belle costume! TOO CUTE!

Right as Jodi was leaving, Auntie JuJu pulled up for a visit and dinner! They had fun with her new pom poms while mommy made dinner!

Have fun looking at the darling pictures! More to come this weekend! Two more parties to go!

Love,

Kathy
