February so far has been amazing!!! Here are some highlights!!!

First and most importantly, we got to celebrate our Emily's birthday!!!



Emily would give a hug after opening each gift. Here she is hugging Carolyn.
The last gift opened was a gift to all the kids...they had to solve the riddle on the poster...lots of wrapped gifts were a part in the poster they had to put together....


HARRY POTTER WORLD, DISNEY WORLD, FLORIDA BEACH, RESORT STAY....coming to us May 2016!! :)
Let the countdown begin! 106 days...also happens to be Carolyn's birthday!!!

The girls looking at the Florida agenda....


Emily making her birthday cake with me...she kept switching what she wanted the cake to be decorated like...in the end, she choice a Snoopy cake. Yes, we are obsessed with Tommy...so much that we make him the design of our birthday cake.





Best. Expression. Maker. EVER.

So blessed this sweet spirit came to our home 5 years ago. Definitely one of the best days of my life. And she's made every day since then better. In her blessing as a baby, it would said she would bring peace to our home. She does. We love her. And she is amazing.
She got a baseball bat and ball....guess what Emy and I did in the basement for a while on her big day? Yup, played ball :)
She got to choose something to do on her birthday night, she kept changing her mind. First, icestaking. Then movies...a whole bunch of other things. She ended with going to Chuck-E- Cheese :)
BRONCOS parade! It was insane getting there. But we got to see Peyton Manning live and got to be a part of a historical day of a million people gathering in Denver to celebrate SuperBowl 2016!


Some nice ladies let Carolyn sit up with them. They were very nice.
I love the cards Emily constantly gives to me.
