Five (plus one day)

 My baby is now 5 (plus one day). Emma is such a joy to us and we know that our lives were blessed beyond measure with her birth.

Below are pictures from her birthday weekend:

Birthday kisses from her brothers.



Being silly with Great Grandpa.



Blowing out the candles.

Riding the Barbie scooter she purchased with her Target gift cards.



Wearing the shirt that has been worn by all of her brothers on their 5th birthday.

Some of my favorite things about this little girl:

1. She loves to laugh.

2. She loves to cuddle and give hugs.

3. She says "I love you" just because.

4. She still asks Mommy or Daddy to pray for her each night.

5. She loves Jesus. Her knowledge of the Bible is so exciting to watch.

6. She loves to learn.

7. She loves being silly and making her brothers laugh.

8. She is a "daddy's girl".

9. She loves to shop.

10. She taught me to love the color pink.

It is a blessing to be Emma's mommy and I pray that as she grows she will continue to love the Bible and Jesus. That she will seek to be a true daughter of the King and that she will find her beauty and security in the knowledge that Jesus loves her. I look forward to the adventures that await us because of this precious princess.
