Easter Basket from Auntie JuJu

Thank you JuJu

We decided to let Emily open her basket from JuJu on Saturday since we knew Sunday would be very busy with lots of goodies from the Easter Bunny, Mommy, and Belen. As you can tell by the pictures, Emily had a marvelous time with her fun things from JuJu!! Hope you can just feel the excitement pouring out of her!
Love,
Kathy

Dyeing Eggs 2013

All ready with that first egg

Emily had a blast dyeing eggs this year! She gets totally into the entire process; how the eggs are cooked, letting them cool, mixing the dye colors, and of course the fun of dyeing them! We had a great time! Enjoy the pics.

Palm Sunday

All ready for church

We had a joy-filled day on Palm Sunday. Emily had been practicing the previous three Sundays with the children's choir to perform for the congregation. She also got to take part in the processional of marching with the palm branches into church. She was darling, as were all of the children. She sang her heart out and had the time of her life. When her speech is a tad more clear to everyone, we totally see a performance by her...solo... in front of the church. She has already said she would love to. Emily looked BEAUTIFUL on Palm Sunday all dressed up in her new dress from Nana. Emily is all about dresses lately, especially if they twirl really well! After church service she got to participate in the all church egg hunt! What fun!! She LOVES her church and her friends at church!
Enjoy the photos of the sweetheart!

Tooth Fairy Visit and MORE...

Tooth Fairy Loot

Well, the morning after Emily lost her tooth, she awoke before her alarm clock and screamed out, "Mommy, Mommy, tooth fairy put money under my pillow!!" When I went into her room she was sitting up in bed in the dark, with only the light of her nightlight, holding her money and wearing a HUGE grin!! After we turned on the light, I explained that the tooth fairy had left $5 and she screamed! Of course we had to take a photo, then she had to run in and wake up Auntie JuJu. It was a great day for her!

This was also the day that Nana and Grandma Becki were coming to her school for Goodies with Grandparents! WOW...so much excitement for a 6 year old!

Ready for school

She had a wonderful time with Nana and Becki at her class. She got to sing with her friends and show them her class. She even had a special shirt to wear in honor of Nana's visit to her class.

Saturday she had her regular swimming lesson and JuJu snapped a darling photo while waiting for her teacher to get there! She is currently working on the front crawl, backstroke, and back float. She can swim on her back the entire length of the pool in approximately two minutes. I believe swimming will be her sport of choice! She would live in the pool if she was allowed! My girl LOVES water!

Sunday morning, today, was St. Patrick's Day, and I was awakened by squeals of delight coming from the room next door!!! I went in her room at 5:00 a.m....yes you read that right, 5:00 a.m. on a Sunday, to see her utter joy and excitement and true belief in Leprechauns!! That silly, mischievous Leprechaun had scattered shamrocks ALL over her room floor, down the hall, in the dining room, and living room. He also left her a note telling her to have fun looking for GOLD!!! What do you know, she ended up finding it in the hall closet!! At church she gladly shared her GOLD with her friends, Pastor David, and her children's choir teacher, Steven.

After church we headed to the mall to see none other than the big guy himself...the EASTER BUNNY!!! She did great and had fun talking to him, hugging him, and smiling for a darling photo!

Enjoy the photos!! We had a great weekend! Hope you all did too!

Love,

Kathy and Emily

First Lost Tooth

Today was it...EMILY lost her first tooth while at school today! Needless to say she has been on air since being picked up! Now she is in bed wondering what the Tooth Fairy will bring her! To her this is almost more exciting than waiting for Santa! I'm sure we'll have a post tomorrow evening to tell what Emily got under her pillow! For now enjoy this DARLING picture!
Love,

Kathy

Can't you just feel the excitement!!!
