Happy Birthday Emery!

  Emery turned six years old the first day of summer break.  She was really excited to get bigger, but said she didn't feel bigger.  She told me she wants to be big like Avery.  Emery really has turned into a sweet kids.  The day before her birthday Aimee, Karl, Tyler, and Jules(Aimee's niece) came over to celebrate Emery early since they were going out of town.  The kids played outside a whole bunch and then had fun building a giant bed out of pillows in the basement.

  On Emery's actual birthday we got up and hiked Franklin Falls in the morning with my parents.  The kids did pretty well on the hike, and seeing the falls was well worth effort.  Per Emery's request we went to McDonald's for dinner with my parents again, and then came back home for cake and presents.  Emery loved all her gifts and she had a great day.

Emery also wanted to go sledding down the hill with cardboard.

Emery is so expressive when opening gifts.

She was so happy to get whatever LOL doll that was.

This is Emery's birthday crown and beach ball she got at school.

Emery really wanted Hot Wheels cars to use on Luke's track for her birthday and Grandma and Grandpa delivered.

This is how Harper dressed to play outside when Aimee and Karl visited.

Emery was super happy to get her gift from Aimee and Karl.

This is from earlier in the month when Emery decided she needed to learn how to cook.
