So on Thursday (the 11th), our baby girl turned 3 years old!!! It’s so hard to believe. It seems like just a day ago when Emily was 2….and 3 days ago when she first came into this world. And yet, so much has happened in the span of 3 years, so many major milestones and first moments (for all of us). So on Thursday, in between fighting back tears about the fact that our baby girl is no longer a baby, and finding ourselves in awe of the fact that she has almost instantaneously transformed from toddler into a beautiful little girl, we celebrated by going out to Chuck E. Cheese. Emily had a great time playing all of the games and riding on the rides. She even met Mr. Cheese himself! Earlier in the day, Emily also had a birthday celebration with her friends at preschool, complete with chocolate chip cupcakes and “My Little Pony” party hats, plates and napkins. Her teacher, Miss Dani was so nice that she even made Emily her very own purple birthday crown, knowing that purple is her favorite color! I’ve included some pictures of the days’ events (below).
