Happy Birthday Princess!

Happy Birthday to Emrie!

My baby girl is 3 years old today! I can't believe she is a big girl. Last night after Drew and I put her to bed we got her gift out of the garage (where we have be hiding it for a few weeks) I blew up balloons and decorated. This morning we woke her up singing Happy Birthday to her, and told her we got a birthday present for her! I walked down stairs with her and she saw her BIKE!
She has been telling Drew and I that she wants a bike and I tell her to ask Santa or ask for her birthday. She got on just like a pro and we told her she could ride it tonight when we got home.
This evening my mom is taking her to Chuck E Cheese and then tomorrow we are having her Cowgirl Party! Here are the top 3 things I LOVE about my little Peanut!
1. she is always making her Daddy and myself laugh
2. she has an imagination like you wouldn't believe
3. she gives GREAT kisses and hugs-when she feels like it! :)

I'll post pictures from her birthday and her party after this weekend.

We Love You Emrie!

It feels like Christmas!

It's cold, burrrrrr. I wish I had fur!

.............that is what Emrie was singing the other night when we were decorating for Christmas. It was so cute as she hung all the ornaments at the bottom of the tree.
We have been a busy little family with the holidays fast approaching and Emrie's 3rd birthday coming up! It's been awhile since I have updated and it seems like I haven't downloaded pictures in forever. Thanksgiving was wonderful, we went to Bay City and spent the day at Mimi and Papa's house. Mimi didn't figure out the correct time for the turkey and it was undercooked, so we had ham and plenty of sides for our Thanksgiving dinner. I'm so thankful for my family and for my grandparents and for the love and the joy they bring into our lives.
I've been feeling pretty well with this pregnancy. It comes and goes, but overall way better than the 9 months I was pregnant with Emrie. Drew has been wonderful and so understanding about helping me around the house and doing mommy and daddy duties. I am 15 weeks today, and we go for my 16 week apt next Friday. We are still undecided on baby names, boy and girl! We are going to find out what we are having so I'll keep everyone updated when we find out.
Emrie is turning 3 next Friday, December 19th! I can't believe my baby girl is already 3! I know ever parent says that every year on their child's birthday. But as I think back of how fast the last 3 years have gone. Its hard to believe she is considered a little girl now and not a baby! She is so sweet and loving, she is also learning some mean things from daycare. I picked her up the other day from school and she said, "I'm not your friend mommy" I said, "Why Not"
"Cause you looked at me funny", she says.
Ok, Emrie! she says the strangest things. And I have to say acts just like me! Lucky girl. We are planning her Cowgirl Birthday Party and she will have a blast!
I am done Christmas shopping and Santa is done with our family. Now I just have to find time to wrap the gifts and hope that Emrie AND Drew don't peek under the tree! I'm finishing up with the Christmas cards and will hopefully get those out next week. As Christmas time gets near, and the weather makes it feel like winter, I'm happy to have the family I have, I'm happy that I get to spend the holidays with all my family so near and I'm so thankful that we are all healthy and well this holiday season. From our family to yours.......... Merry Christmas!
