Happy Birthday Emma!!!

We have a tradition of decorating the house after the birthday girl goes to bed...so when they wake up we can tape them coming downstairs with eyes full of excitement while exclaiming..."It's my birthday!!!" True to Emma's character, she slipped out of our room and ran downstairs to see all her balloons without us capturing a dang thing!!! Happy Birthday to our bright little Emma!!!
Emma was born in January...in Pittsburgh...in 2005 when the Steelers won the last Superbowl...with a terrible towel in her bassinet! The maternity ward was one big tailgate party!!! It was so fun!!! I think I should have clued in at that point that we were welcoming a little party animal into our family!
Emma brings a huge ray of brightness and excitement to our home. When she was a little baby, her Grandpa Bregg gave her the nickname "Sunbeam"! She loves life, is always smiling, and is the most energetic girl I've ever seen. She is beyond curious and is always exploring everything...which unfortunately results in the worst messes to clean up! She is the most nurturing person. She's always trying to help her little sister and her favorite thing in life is her dolly!!! She has NO volume control and she thinks everything is stinkin' hysterical!
I asked Kevin a while ago to tell me one word that describes Emma. He replied, "!"...yes, an exclamation point! She does everything with emphasis. Everything from the way she walks to the way she hugs (so tight you can't breathe), and the way she tells you get off the carpet because no food is allowed on the carpet (remember...no volume control)!!! She cracks us up all the time!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Emma!!! We love you so much!!!

She is SO cute Steph! I can't believe she's 3!! I love hear all about the "Emma adventures and escapades", and I have a feeling I will be hearing them for quite awhile. :)
Oh, and I love that picture of you two together--you look just alike!

Those pictures are so cute. She looks like so much fun. Isn't it fun having one with such enthusiasm. It will keep things lively at your home.
Thanks for helping me figure out why I couldn't connect with your blog. I am excited I get to check out the Lowedown. :D
