The next day, we went to M&B's for Em's birthday party. It is so hard to believe that three years ago, we were in the hospital praying that God would spare this little girl's life. And here we were, celebrating with our family and all these Sesame characters that the little miracle girl loves!
The weather was a bit cool, but the rain did not fall on her party, so the cousins had a great time playing outside.
The pink car always seems to be a focal point...
...as well as the bounce-house
...and the swings
...and the playhouse!
We even got to see the newest cousin and her daddy via Skype.
All the kids did a craft project, organized by Miss B.
It was very serious work.
When asked how old she was, Em kept telling us that she was one!
The two youngest cousins thought the cupcakes were just too irresistible!
The birthday girl was all smiles this year when we sang for her!
There were plenty of eager helpers when it came time to open presents.
Such fun new toys!
Em finally got her hands on that cupcake...
and finally got to eat it.
The cousins found some fun new toys to play with while we watched over them for several hours because their mommy had a fall and ended up in ER with an injury to her L ankle.
Happy Birthday! This was one very excited and happy little girl who loved her new Sesame toys!
While little sister was napping, Nana helped big sister sew the flower on her pretty new ballet dress.
She loves her dog!
The cousins enjoyed using my stethoscope to listen to their heartbeat.
Soon it was time to head out to a neighboring town for the next big event--K's first ballet recital. As we left, we glanced back at the snow-covered mountains and the gray canopy of clouds. What a beautiful sight!

She had such a good performance! It was the perfect ending to a fun weekend with family. We are so thankful that God has allowed us to live close enough by two of our boys so that we can enjoy some of these special events in their lives.
