She had a great birthday weekend. Pretty much the whole weekend was hers to celebrate. The grand finale was getting to attend church ON HER BIRTHDAY and have the congregation sing Happy Birthday to her. After church we made the trip to Angola for the baptism. When we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house after the baptism, Uncle Scooter and Aunt Rebecca gave Emma her birthday cake... made in their bakery.
The cake decorations were a complete surprise for her. She takes after her daddy, and she is a Steeler's fan. I asked Todd's Aunt Johnni (who lives in Pittsburgh) if she could please find Steeler's cake decorations. She found them, she mailed them, the cake decorator designed the cake around them! Emma was elated with her cake.More rushing around... We had to get back to Fort Wayne to be at a friend's house to watch the Steeler's game. Kickoff was at 4:15, and we had to hustle. Oh, I almost forgot, on the way to church, Emma asked if we could please get her a new Steeler's shirt for the games. Little did she know that Aunt Johnni sent her a new shirt for a birthday gift (she also sent a little teddy bear wearing a Steeler's sweater). When she opened that present after church, she let out a shriek. I like to think it's all a joke and next year she will ask for a Colts t-shirt!
Another picture of the awesome cake without the plastic cover.
I can't believe I did not take a picture of her in the shirt with the camera. I did take one with my phone that I sent to Aunt Johnni, but I don't know how to e-mail that picture to myself. Rats!
send the picture to me and I'll email it to you.
