Celebrating Emily's Birthday

On Saturday afternoon, we celebrated Emily's birthday with presents and cake.  She loved opening all of her gifts and she really loved her cake (she asked for it ALL day), which was chocolate with pink frosting and little Cinderellas on top (home made by Mommy and Elizabeth).  She had a great afternoon, but Elizabeth is quite relieved that Emily's birthday is finally over and that hers is next!  More pictures here .
Presents from Miss Melissa and Mr. Mark - the wrapping paper alone was a huge hit!
My inability to capture Emily's expression on her second birthday is what prompted me to get the camera that I have now - I'm happy to say that we were pretty much able to get the full essence of her excitement. 
She blew out the candles on the first try...
...and immediately tried out the frosting.

Yummy cake
This was Elizabeth's present to Emily - which, by the way, was Emily's favorite gift.  The kicker?  All of these things belonged to Emily before Elizabeth gave them to her.  Elizabeth simply wrapped them up and Emily seemed to be incredibly grateful!!

My favorite picture is the first one with the crown. Give credit to also you taking the pictures, the camera certainly helps.
