Emma's 5 Year Birthday

Emma's birthday tends to take over for several weeks. I take a little of that blame:).  Her birthday is on July 4th, so that is a party day in and of itself. Then there is the birthday party day.  Then the steady stream of presents that arrive in the mail from family that are not in the area.  By the end of the birthday season we are pretty burnt out (well Evie is for sure;).   This year was the big #5! She looked forward to the life changing event that was sure to come with being such a big number! Roger took the whole week off from work to enjoy a little R&R. We did fun things around Tulsa and Owasso and it really was a nice week together.

Her birthday was Strawberry Shortcake (the new one). We were just thrilled to be near family and to have made new friends to enjoy the day with.

The Sunday before the 4th

 

Her annual birthday date with daddy the night before her birthday.

 

I can't believe this is her 3rd time to do this. She was wearing her new locket that was from her Mimi and Pops.
