Happy Birthday Emily!!!

We celebrated Emily's birthday today with a busy and exciting day!!! Pancakes and presents in the morning.... Soccer in the afternoon... (sorry no pics of that...it was 93 degrees here today and too hot!) Here is our annual "hold up how many fingers you are turning" picture!
After soccer we came home for a puppy themed birthday party with a few of Em's closest girl friends (and Nathan!)

When we realized every party guest coming had a puppy of their own at home we thought it would be fun to make homemade dog treats. We cut them out with a cute bone shaped cookie cutter and each girl got to take a bag home. Princess taste tested them and highly approved!


We also had fun with "Emily's Puppy Adoption Center" where each child got to adopt a stuffed dog and make a birth certificate for it.
We had an "eat like a puppy contest" where they gobbled down cheerios...I won't tell who won...but you can guess it's the child laying flat on his stomach with his feet in the air!!
Time for cake!!

After the party we went out for dinner (Red Robin), Emily's choice and bowling!!!


At the end of a very long, fun, and HOT day, this is how they looked when we pulled into the garage!
