Birthday in Atlanta

On Saturday morning, we all went back over to Tafanie and Cory's to celebrate Emmaline's 2nd birthday!  She was dressed up so pretty!

And she even had a birthday balloon tree!  One of the conveniences of having a birthday so close to Christmas.  :)

And Emmaline and Bell both really like balloons!

As soon as Avery arrived,

she put on a Happy Birthday tiara.  :)

The birthday celebration began with singing happy birthday to Emmaline while Tafanie lighted the candles on Emmaline's birthday donut.

Emmaline blew out her birthday candles...

and then dug into her birthday donut!  :)

I think her little sister Ruby wants some birthday donut too!  :)

Emmaline began opening her presents and cards.  One of her presents was a Care Bear.  We remember Tafanie and Crystal having Care Bears when they were little.  :)

Bell helped Emmaline open some of her presents.  After all, Bell is now a PPO -- Professional Present Opener.  :)

I think Ruby wants to help open presents too!  :)

We had fun again today watching Cory put together the present we got for Emmaline:  a toy trampoline.  He had lots of helpers...

...who waited very patiently.  :)

Within about 15 minutes, the toy trampoline was up and ready for the birthday girl to try out...  

...as well as Emmaline's cousin, Avery...

...and her sister Bell.  

I think Emmaline likes her toy trampoline!

We had a wonderful time while we were in Atlanta and we are so blessed to have been able to spend Christmas with my mom and both of our daughters and their families.
