Birthday Tea Party & Special Babydoll
Today Grandma Ann & Miss Lori took Emma and I to an adorable tea room in downtown Plano called Into My Garden Tearoom. This was Emma's Birthday present from them. We started off having a delicious lunch compete with real china and Emma got her very own birthday princess place setting with her own tea pot & cup/saucer. She LOVED getting to be such a big girl! For lunch she had a flower shaped PB& J Sandwich along with fruit, chocolate chip muffins and pink "tea". For dessert she got to have Ice cream with sprinkles! I had a wonderful Chicken Caesar Salad and a delicious piece of chocolate cake.
After lunch Aunt Mary met us to go and choose Emma's new Baby. They have a special Lee Middleton Newborn Nursery set up in the front of the Tearoom. Emma got to look at all of the babies in the nursery. The "Nurse" asked Emma some questions to make sure she would be a good mommy. Em passed with flying colors and got to choose her baby. She chose the 2nd dolly that she held and named her "Baby Emma". She is too adorable and Emma had the BEST time ever as she would say :) This was seriously one of the CUTEST places I have ever seen, Thank you Grandma Ann, Miss Lori & Aunt Mary for such a fun and special day!
Now my only question is: Does this mean I'm technically a Grandma now? ;)

Emma's 5th Birthday
WOW, How is my girl already 5? I CANNOT believe that she is 5 already, I can still remember being pregnant with her (and feeling sick as a dog most of the time ;) )
She is turning in to such a sweet little girl, very helpful with her baby sister and ALWAYS thinking of others. Emma Kate you are so very precious to me and I love you so very much!
We celebrated Miss Emma's Birthday with an Italian Dinner with all of the family and pink cake/cupcakes! We had so much fun with everyone!
The Following Saturday we celebrated with some of Emma's friends at a Gymnastics place, the kids had SO much fun on the Trampolines, Zip line, Bounce Houses, Balance Beams and trapeze!

The rest of NOVEMBER
The rest of November consisted of Mommy getting really sick ~for pretty much the entire month :(
AND
Ben Losing his FIRST Tooth at school on Wed. the 11th, he was wiggling it during PE and then he pulled it out. He was SOOO excited when I picked him up from
school!!
The other exciting thing to happen this month was that Miss Emma got a Sassy new haircut. She and Mommy spent the Tuesday before Thanksgiving together and we went to Mommy's Salon and got our hair done. We had so much fun!!
We also had a truly wonderful Thanksgiving with all of our family, I am so thankful for all of the wonderful and special people in my life!!

SEPTEMBER
Well since I'm tryin' to play catch-up, I decided to condense the month of September into one post. The major events in September were Emma starting preschool on the 10th (and getting to meet her teachers on the 3rd) and going to the Balloon Festival (on the 19th).
On Emma's meet the teacher night, we got to visit her classroom and she decorated her special folder. She was SO Super excited to meet her teachers and some of her classmates.
Here are the pics from her 1st day of Preschool, she had such a great day and I was SO very proud of what a BIG girl she was!!
Then on Saturday the 19th Uncle Colin joined us and we all went to the Balloon Festival. We got up at the crack of dawn and went to watch the balloons take off. It was SO amazing, we had so much fun! Then we went to The Original Pancake House after for breakfast-YUMMY!! :)

The BIG 3-0
Well it's happened, today I turned the BIG 3-0!!! It really doesn't bother me all that much, it's just really really weird ;) I think back on when I was a teen and used to think 30 sounded SO old, now not so much ;)
It's crazy, growing up I thought I MIGHT get married by the time I was 30 THEN start having kids after that,or that I might not get married at all and look at me now. Thankfully I found my soul-mate (who FINALLY came to his senses) and I have been blessed with my 3 kiddos. I wouldn't change any of it!!
Here are some pics from my birthday party at my parents house:
