We let Emerson open one gift after breakfast, an Olivia toy.

Looking at the lions at the zoo. SO HOT!

She liked the bell on the boat but would not let us buckle her in to ride.

"cheese"

Oh how I hate this picture is fuzzy!

They might have actually been melting in this picture! It was so hot & humid that morning. We were ready to leave the zoo & head to air conditioning at....

Chuck E. Cheese!!!

not sure what to do first

She loved this bee game. The object is to catch the striped balls & put them in the honey pot.



None of us were good at this game. I think I got bopped on the head by an acorn every time (you were supposed to avoid the acorns).

She is so my daughter, loving her jeep ride while wearing her pink tutu.

birthday photo shoot

A very sweet lady that works with Q made Emer this dress & I added the tutu. Every girl needs a tutu on her 2nd birthday!

thinking about her Muddy's cupcake

Happy birthday baby girl!

She only eats the icing.

A cute picture before presents.

OK, I couldn't decide which pic was cutest. Did you notice her lips in the 2 pics above? LOVE HER!

Excited about her backpack.

Emer's daddy knew she would love the stroller.

Dressing up in her Olivia outfit.

As you may have noticed above we started the day at the zoo. We went early but it was still very hot so we only stayed about 45 minutes. We are member so it is easy just to "pop" by and Emerson likes the animals. For lunch we went to Chuck E. Cheese. Emerson had never been and, of course, loved it. After playing a few hours we went home to eat cupcakes and open gifts. For dinner Quentin cooked steak on the grill (Emerson's favorite). She is getting so big. It really is neat getting to see the world through her eyes. She is such a sweet girl and we are very blessed.
