Emberly's Little People

Emberly was playing with her Little People today and this is how she had them all set up. Clearly the world doesn't revolve around her...or Jesus (I would have hoped he would be in the middle). Of course Ella is the center of it all!

Going around the circle starting with Emberly who is on the bike, Mark, my cousin, Kyprian, Melinda, Troy, Johanna, Emily, and Ella's Grandma. Off to the side are Mary, Jesus, some food and Joseph.

time to leave Lulu's house

We took a lovely picture with my grandma before heading home.
Emberly and her facial expressions-priceless.

Lulu and Emberly make dinner

Lulu (or Grandma Peaches, as I like to call her) and Emberly made dinner together.
Emberly is always up for helping and especially likes to help in the kitchen.

Ready to go in the oven.

Lulu with the great grandbabies!

Happy Thanksgiving

Mark is only watching here, but was totally amazing while playing Just Dance 2 with Morgan. It was really fun to visit family for Thanksgiving. Emberly was rather nervous the entire time we were here, but did partake in some dancing with Morgan and Koltan.

Happy 3rd Birthday Emberly!

In all the excitement of Emberly's party yesterday, we decided to have her open her gift from us on her birthday. We got her a 6 piece doll furniture set-which she loves!
She was so excited about it!

Happy birthday to our beautiful, sweet and caring little girl. It's hard to believe 3 years has already passed us by. Emberly has grown into this amazing little girl who is more kind, caring and responsible than I could have ever imagined. She tells us all kinds of fun stories and her imagination is taking off. I love her honesty about everything and how at 3 years old she has an opinion about everything.

Just over 3 months and is trying to eat the johnny jump up.
Our cute little Kyprian.
Busy playing with her new toys and wearing some of her new clothes.

Emberly's party


Mark gave rides around the gym. The girls LOVED it!



and then it was Mark's turn to ride. I was amazed that they actually had the blanket moving!

Here's Emberly opening her first present and Ella is opening the gift she brought. Emberly didn't make it past the this present. Papa gave her the Little People nativity set. Emberly was so excited to open it and play with it, she didn't really seem interested in the rest of the gifts people brought for her. It was a good thing Ella was there. Most of the picture we have are of Ella opening presents and showing them to Emberly-who continued to play with her brand new Little People. Emberly received a bunch of cool things, for which we are grateful.

Emberly turns 3!

We got a family picture....unplanned, but we all coordinate!

Emberly loved her purple butterfly cake!
Papa and Kyprian

Emberly loved blowing out the candles on her cake, one by one.
She thought her cake was the coolest thing ever and loved having her birthday party at church in the gym.

Ella, Emberly and Carolyn all enjoyed eating cake and ice cream together.
