Emma's birthday

Emma's birthday party was a big success. She really enjoyed spending time with her friends including a new girl she met at camp last week. One of the little girls told Emma it was the best water party ever! That's sounds like a good compliment to me. They made crowns, ate cake and homemade ice cream and then played in the water. They used over 250 water balloons in a very short period of time. I decided it would be even better if the kids were big enough to tie their own balloons. Sean was ambushed by the kids at one point so he was dripping wet! Benjamin insisted on being outside as well. Later, when he was in the house, he sampled the frosting. That is one thing he is able to swallow.

Here is her beautiful unicorn cake. We tried a new bakery and were very happy.

After the water balloons were gone, they opted for sitting in the coolers.

One of the presents we gave to Emma is our digital camera. We are planning to get a new one, so Emma is now in charge of our current camera. She LOVES it. She already knows how to delete pictures, zoom in and out, and turn off the flash. I was looking through the pictures she took at the party and she had taken a picture of each of the little girls. All the girls were beautifully centered with eyes open. When she went up to bed, she wanted to know where "her camera" was. Here are a couple pictures she took yesterday...
