Our Emma is thirteen. Thirteen!
Her actual birthday was on Sunday.
The festivities were enjoyed over the span of a few days.
She had her cake and opened gifts on Sunday evening.
Precious memories.
Never a dull moment with these three. :)
Emma loves to swim...so, on Monday evening we obliged her.
Actually, Howie and the boys did. I read and took photos and exchanged
texts with my sister. I got all the updates about the slides and diving boards
and wave pool as various members of my family passed by.
It was a good arrangement all around.

On Tuesday, we went to get Emma's ears pierced.
This was a much-anticipated and patiently waited for occasion.
But, when the moment finally arrived, it wasn't without some apprehension.
Thankfully, both sides were done at once.
A little relieved, I think.
We ended our outing with a little treat. :)
Precious Emma ~ We are so thankful that the Lord chose to put
you into our family. What a blessing you are to us all.
May you follow Him with all of your heart for all of your days.
He is faithful and will always lead you well. He is so very, very good.
With all our Love,
Daddy and Mummy
XOXO

Wishing your Emma a Happy Birthday, it looks like she had a really nice celebration. She looked like she did quite well with getting her ears pierced....swimming looked fun but I think I would have skipped the slides as well...it's much more fun watching isn't it?
Blessings to you
Happy Birthday Emma!!!! God bless you. Your pierced ears look nice.

I'm catching up on my blog reading now. Happy belated Birthday to Emma! May "13" be a wonderful time for her!
Two things struck me as I read this. First, her brothers obviously adore her! And second, that cake looks yummy! Care to share the recipe?
Dear Melissa ~ She is definitely a loved young lady...however, they are true siblings in every sense of the word...Ha! I know you got the answer to your second question...I hope you do make it...super easy! Hugs to you. :) Love, Camille
