K turns three!

While the birthday princess napped, Aunti Mo created a lovely princess cake for her!

 It was truly a beautiful work of art!

 Doesn't her first impression say it all?

 When the young guests arrived, they were able to create a royal crown for themselves.

 Little birthday girl was hard at work.

 Prince N was so happy to see his Uncle M again!

 Modeling their crowns

 Seeing the latest pictures of her sister.

 We were blessed with a beautiful and sunny, cool day, so the kiddos enjoyed some playtime outside.

 Cousins

 J loved the bounce house!

 Soon it was time to hunt for "royal treasures."

 hunting...

 and enjoying the treasure trove!

 do you think that they were inpressed by that lovely cake???

 Birthday girl really got into the act this year and sang happy birthday to herself and everything!

 Delicious!

 The Three Friends!

 All the mommies!

 And almost all of the royal party (a couple of little ones sat out on this one)

 B honored her sister-in-law with a special gift from her brother

 It was a "keep hangin' in there" basket to remind his wife that he would soon be home from his deployment, and that he was thinking of her right now!

 Then it was time for presents. Such excitement and squeals of delight!

 And while the rest of us were partying, Poppi was at the hospital with Em. (So that her parents could both attend big sister's party)

She is still lethargic, but starting to smile and talk some.



Still no appetite, though! She is now off of Oxygen, and no longer vomiting or fever. She ate a couple bites of mashed potatoes, but that's about all.





Daddy's precious little one! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for Em. God is answering, and we know that He will heal her. Thank you for continued prayers. Blessings always!
