Emma turned 8 years old on January 11th. I'm not exaggerating or kidding when I say the time has flown by. I feel like she should be 5 or 6 tops. She is halfway through the second grade and no longer needs to ride with a booster seat in the car. WOW!! We had a small birthday celebration with some of her friends from church at an indoor pool in town the Saturday before her actual birthday! On her birthday, Matt and I brought her lunch from chick-fil-a and spent her lunch with her at school. I brought cupcakes for her to pass around too. Hannah had dance class that evening so after dance, I made her whatever she wanted for dinner, which she chose chicken nuggets of course. Then we took her out to her favorite dessert place, Sweet Frog, for dessert. We got her Just Dance 3 for the wii, a bed for her American Girl doll, a pedicure set and money to pick out legos. After dessert, she reluctantly let me interview her:
