I'd say a week is an adequate amount of time to celebrate a birthday! We started celebrating Emmy on the Saturday before her birthday with a surprise first trip to the American Girl store.
Emmy has a doll from Toys R Us and a doll from Target and for her birthday, she got to pick our her first American Girl doll.
Instead of a named doll, she opted for a Truly Me doll that she could get to look like her.
She also got the doll's ears pierced while we were there.
My mom's cousin Rosabeth lives in Northern Virginia near the store so she met us for a fun girls day.
It's not a birthday celebration without a cake pop!
Her actual birthday was on Wednesday. She was up bright and early to open presents before school.
She got most everything she wanted and then some!
She chose pop tarts for her birthday breakfast. Nothing like brownie batter and sugar cookie to start your morning off right!
Emmy had outgrown all of her birthday shirts and was excited to wear this one that Bryce and I had made for her.
Every student gets to pick a book from school on their birthday. This book was fitting because her other top tooth fell out a few days later!
Nana brought Chick Fil A for lunch at school and Emmy opted to buy ice cream for dessert!
We had dinner at Noodles with MeMa and PaPa.
Then we went next door for a cake pop for dessert. The man working there gave her two because it was her birthday. Score!
We wrapped up the fun today with a family party at our house. Emmy chose brownie sundaes. Yum!
She got some new pajamas and a birthday outfit for her doll among lots of other things!
I love looking back over the years at how she has changed in such a short amount of time!
