Emily's birthday

Here are some pictures to fill you in on Emily's fun birthday week. Her birthday started out with a sprinkled donut and balloons (a daddy tradition), then a few gifts.

Then it was off to Mall of America. The girls had never ridden any rides at Nickelodeon Universe, and it worked out great since not only was it "Toddler Tuesday" (which means toddlers get unlimited rides for 3 hours for $10), but on your birthday you get unlimited rides free all day. So Bri was cheap and Emily was free, plus parents got to ride free on most of them as well if they needed a chaperone.

There are also several restaurants where kids eat free on Tuesdays, and Emily chose Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. The food was great and it was a lot of fun.

Then it was back to the rides. Here was one of her favorites. Then again, I think she loved them all.
They let Jer and Emily ride the log ride six times in a row since no one was waiting. She's braver than I am!
She was really spoiled this year by her grandparents. New dance outfits and golf game,
Snow White costume,
and a new bike.
She reluctantly came inside from riding her bike to have cake and ice cream.

I hope our little lady had a good birthday #4. I think she did.

How fun!!! The MoA looked like a great place for a b-day party! Henry is not going to be happy with you guys when I suggest it for Abby! :) That cake is so cute! Did you make it?

Some of those rides look like they'd be scary for a 2 & 4 year old, but looks like they had fun! I'll have to keep that in mind if we're out there for M's birthday this year.
We still haven't mailed Emily's gift...I'm so sorry. I will try to get it in the mail this week!
