Emma the Big 3






On Wednesday we celebrated Emma's 3rd Birthday! I can't believe it. Although it does make sense because we had Emma the first month of law school and now we're done and graduated (I'm still getting used to that idea). The crazy thing is that most people think she is older then Sydney. But no folks, sorry...
We had a small party and told a few close friends that we were taking the kid-o's up to the much desired and rarely viewed Chuck E. Cheese. The girls love this place. And I think they have converted many of the friends and even Ben. The girls run around like they own the place and Ben just crawls after them, never wanting to be left behind.
I also promised Emma that she could pick out her own cake at the grocery store. I know what you are all thinking...can't she whip something up herself. Yes I can...but this girls stares down the grocery store cakes every time we go. So we might as well support the economy and buy own. I'm really OK with it. Well I was until she bypassed all the feminine cakes with pretty flowers or pink frosting and asked for the dreaded "crocodile" cake. What the HECK!! I even tried to show her all of the other OPTIONS she had. But she could be deterred...and Sydney wasn't helping either.
"Emma, crocodiles are cool! Look at all the green frosting!"
So just for posterity...I did not make my 3 year old DAUGHTER have a crocodile cake for her birthday. This was all her own doing. Either way it was still tasty and full of sugar. It was a great birthday!
