Emily's Birthday

For Emily's 11th birthday, we went to Kamiak Butte. There is a lovely park there with barbeque spots and picnic tables. We had a really great time! Mom brought steak and Annie made guacamole, and there were lots of good things to eat!
I remember very well when Emily was born, because I got to be at her birth. It was really amazing, and I'm so thankful that God put her in our family. She is growing into a lovely little lady. Here are some of the pictures!

Emily got this from mom! It was a big hit...

Cool treats from Kate, I believe...

As the birthay girl and honoured one for the day, Emily got to put the whipped cream onto the brownies...

Mercy's gift...

Christiana made these flowers and tied them with thread. It was creative!

Kate and Ana took a trip to Philadelphia where they spent the week with Ana's Aunt and Uncle and two little cousins. Kate came home laden with gifts...Thanks Kate!

It should be duly noted that many other great gifts were given to Emily that I don't have documented on this blog. I will also mention that Charity and Noah had some pretty cool gifts!

Tim took all of these wonderful pictures. Thanks Tim!
