Emma's birthday week.

Happy spring all! Just this week the weather has turned warm, it's been so nice:) Emma had her 5th birthday on April the 13th. It actually turned out to be a "birthday week." On Monday she had her preschool birthday party at school. Grandma helped her with her snack for the day, they made farm animal cupcakes (it was also farm week at school), the cupcakes were a big hit with the kids.

Then on Tuesday, I took Emma to the Great Wolf Lodge by Centralia, WA. Just us two girls! We stopped at the outlet mall in North Bend on the way there and did some shopping. The lodge was great, Emma and I had a very fun time. They have a huge indoor water park with water slides and a wave pool. We got back home on Thursday. We spent the rest of the week getting ready for her birthday party on Saturday.

Here are the kids decked out in their party gear.

Mommy, when will my guests be here?
The party was a huge success! We had so many great kids and friends show up; everyone seemed to have a good time!


Scooby doo was the theme.



Here is Emma blowing her candles out.


And opening her presents with some of her friends watching.


Here is Emma and cousin Elly playing outside.

Lil Ken got all tuckered out from partying so hard! He fell asleep in his swing. The next few months will be spent getting the yard and garden ready for this summer. The kids love to play outside while I work in the flower beds. We have a trip planned to visit some family in San Francisco in June and are all looking forward to that, it should be fun. Then it will be time to break out the camping gear:)
