Happy Birthday Emme!!!

Yesterday was Emme's fourth birthday.  It has been fun to watch her grow and change this past four years.  She is such a little ball of fun.  She knows how to frustrate you one moment and melt your heart the next.  This year she is obsessed with Doc McStuffins.  It is this cute show that teaches kids to not be scared of the doctor/dentist.  She pronounce several months ago she wanted a Doc McStuffins party.  So Saturday we had her family party.  We had it at Matt's parents because our home is really too small to have that many people over.  (We have tried it before it didn't work well) We decorated the house in Doc stuff.  I made strawberry cupcakes with vanilla butter cream. Emme told me she wanted a cake too.  So I made a small cake to add with the cupcakes.  We had loads of food as usual what is a celebration with out yummy food.  The girls had fun playing with Stockton and Aspen (Matt's cousin's kids)  At one point Emme and Livi had Stockton pinned on the couch hitting him with balloons. When we blew out the candles Emme got to destroy her little cake everyone kept encouraging her to stick her face into it.  She became such a mess it is a good thing she got clothes for her birthday. (along with puzzles, magnetic dolls, pjs and doc kit) But you are only young once so I let my kids be kids.  The only thing that was hard was one of children repeatedly hit and pushed my kids.  Emme told him to stop and not to be rude, but Livi is more sensitive so I got to clean up lots of tears.  
For her actual birthday we went out to lunch at Olive Garden and then went to the fun zone in Sandy. They have roller skating, arcade games, and bounce castles.  The girls ran me ragged in the bouncey land.  Livi isn't a monkey like her sister so it required me to go and help Livi up the bigger stuff.  At one point we were climbing up this one ladder she lost her grip and we both fell.  And bounced onto the floor in between the two castle.  Livi starting crying as it scared her.  She landed on me so she wasn't hurt.  We decided to stick to the slides after that.  We had a blast.  Matt tried to do one of slides but being 6'5 didn't work well.  So he decided to stick to Alex duty.  For Emme's birthday dinner we had homemade pizza and cake.  She got more puzzles and pjs to open on her actual birthday.   She told me she had fun and wants to know who's birthday is next.
