Emily celebrated her 4th birthday yesterday. She had 9 other little girls over for a Strawberry Shortcake party. As the girls arrived, they decorated cake boxes with stickers. They were so engrossed in this, we hardly heard a peep out of them! (I will have 7 of the 10 girls in my class this fall, so I noted to buy lots of stickers.) After we finished the cake boxes, we took strawberry baskets outside to hunt for little candy strawberries hidden all over the yard. (They got all but 3, eaten by the lawn mower last night.) We came back inside and marched around on numbered strawberries and a certain number got a prize when the music stopped. Then, we decorate the horribly bright cakes. Sprinkles and candy went everywhere!!! Emily opened her gifts and we had lunch (Strawberry jelly sandwiches, strawberry fruit snacks, strawberry koolaid) and then ate cupcakes. All girls went home happy and fully sugared up. Emily loved every minute of it. She is such a funny little girl.

Thanks for sharing these photos, Elizabeth! Ainsley is still talking about the party and has told me several times in a very serious voice..."Mommy...there was a BIG problem at the party. Angel Cake forgot to make Emily's birthday cake!" :-)
Ainsley had a great time...and is still eating her pink cake!
Sure wish we could have been there. That first picture of Emily looks like Breanna's smile to me.
It was hilarious listening to the girls talk to each other on the phone yesterday. All Breanna kept saying was, "huh? what? Emily? say it louder?" over and over again for like 5 minutes!
