Opening presents

We did it!

This year we had "Cars" as Emma's birthday theme. Every child was given his/her own driver's license and tattoo. For activities, they pinned the tire on the race car, had heat races with their own car, beat up a pinata, made gummy candy, and created their own license plate. Emma had such a fun time w/ her friends. She is still talking about her party! We have been so blessed that Emma has such good friends.

Presents #1

On Emma's birthday, she gets to open her presents from Mommy and Daddy. It's such a fun time w/ just our little family before the big party w/ our family and friends.

Party #1

Singing to Emma

Yummy cupcake!!!

How old is Emma?

What fun!

Mommy brought cupcakes to Emma's class for her birthday. All the kids and the teachers were very excited to celebrate Emma's birthday w/ her. We sang "Happy Birthday", enjoyed vanilla or chocolate cupcakes, and apple juice boxes. It was such a great time! Mommy is so glad that she was able to do this for not only Emma but for all the kids.

Emma's Playground

For her birthday, Daddy gave Emma a play set. She was so excited to watch Daddy build it and then to get to play on it. In these pictures, it isn't quite finished because there were a couple of bolts missing, but we wanted to give her the opportunity to play on it before bedtime. She had a blast!

Space Kidets

The DSAC was invited to the Space Kidets bounce house on a Saturday morning. Emma was so excited to go and play w/ her friends. It was a fun morning for our little family.

Birthday Girl

Our girlie turns six today. Six! The time has passed so quickly. We were looking at the pictures of her from last year's birthday and noticed how much she looks like a little girl now; instead of, a toddler/baby face.
The past year has been amazing to see how much Emma has grown and progressed. She has tested out of PT, and is now starting to do three-four word phrases. She is learning to read sight words and can count to twenty. We are so pleased w/ how well she is doing.
Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!!! We love you!

Bowling Trip

B


Emma went on a CBT trip in mid-January. They went to the local bowling alley and then lunch to McDonald's. Emma's favorite! I don't go with the class on these trips so that she can learn to do these real life situations w/o Mommy. Another mom was kind enough to send me these pictures, so we can enjoy them. It looked like she had a lot of fun!!! Plus she looked so cute in her little bowling shoes!
