Happy Third Birthday my Emaline!

Today, my baby is officially three years old. Crazy, I know. I don't believe it either. Since we had her party last weekend (we're going to a wedding tomorrow), today was the day she got to visit one of her favorites right now--Chuck E. Cheese. Her and Kaya go nuts in that place and its just so easy to let them do their thing. We went for lunch and enjoyed a full meal of pizza, all you can eat salad, and breadsticks. Thankfully we had coupons with us! Emaline got an awesome birthday girl crown with shiny new tokens tucked into it. She looked so cute and funny wearing that thing throughout the joint. My hope is that she'll always be silly and continue to wear the inflatable crowns until she's old and gray :-) I really will be sad when she'll think it isn't cool to do such things...*sniff sniff*.

On to the fun though...we had a great time. Josh luckily was off work and got to participate in the fun with his daughters and niece. We played skee ball, video games and always the token sucker: the coin pushing games. We always have a fun time when we go, and come out of CEC with lots of little crap that will get lost somewhere in the shuffle. Then, when she thought it was all over we got back to Nana & Pepere's house and was surprised by a new big girl bike waiting for her from Mom & Dad (after more cake and ice cream, of course)! She couldn't wait to try it out. Now to remind her to always wear her helmet! I'm glad she enjoyed the day! Happy Birthday my Stinkyface! I love you more than anything in the world.

Here's Em escorting Kaya to the car to make sure she gets buckled in safely to go (I love these pictures of them holding hands!):
Here are more fun pictures of our afternoon together:
