Emalyn turned four!

Emalyn had her birthday on Tues, the 29th. I can't believe she's already four years old. She's starting preschool this fall. Time just goes by too fast sometimes.
She had a birthday party with her friends, and as it was my first party to throw, I must say, I'm impressed with how well it went. She wanted to have a princess party, so we told all the girls to come as princesses.





I made her a princess tiara birthday cake.








Scott and I made this castle for the girls to color when they first arrived.




We all danced at the "ball" with ribbons,






we also made "princess play-dough" (pink play dough with glitter),





When I asked Emalyn what she wanted for her birthday, she told me she wanted a garbage can for her room. She said she needed a place to put all her garbage. She was very sincere about it. When she opened it, it was the most exciting present that she opened. Here it is:





I don't know why this movie turned out black and white, but here's the singing and blowing out the candles at the birthday party.


A few days ago, Tyler asked me to record him singing Families Can Be Together Forever. Doesn't he do a great job?

Happy Birthday Emalyn!! you looks just like the cutest princess ever!!
Amy, that cake was great, where did you get the idea?
Tyler, he sounds so good, did you trick him and told him he was getting his picture taken after he sang?

Actually, Tyler ASKED me to video tape him singing that song? Hasn't he come a long way since April? I'm so proud of him.
