Emery Turns Five

   Emery's fifth birthday was the last Thursday in June.  She has been looking forward to her birthday for ages.  To celebrate her birthday I took her, Harper, and Luke to indoor play place in Factoria where she had a great time running around and playing.  (Avery was at summer school in the morning.)  I actually made a homemade chocolate cake for Emery's birthday; an anomaly that Harper took note of.  Emery was suitably impressed with the cake and uttered a breathy reverent "holy" when she saw.  Apparently to awestruck to finish up the holy with a moley or toledo or perhaps even smoke.  She had the same reaction to the gifts she was given as well.  Of all our children I think Emery is the most satisfying to give a gift to because of her overwhelmingly positive reactions to them.

Emery was unsatisfied with just one five candle, so we had to add five candles before she would even consider blowing out candles.

Emery's delight at getting gifts.

Emery's big gift was the Minnie Mouse tent she had asked for.

Luke was extremely upset he didn't get to blow out candles and was insistent it was his birthday too.  He was humored with the candles.
