Emily's Birthday

I can't believe that I have a 9 year old!  We had a wonderful party at the skating rink.  18 kids showed up and it was a lively party to say the least.  Emily had half her ball team there and lots of other friends.  She was so excited to have such a good turn out.  Some of the softball girls talked Emily into playing basketball so they would have enough girls to make a team.  I guess we will be signing her up on Monday.
We had plans to go to the mommy and me dance from 5-7pm and while at the skating rink Emily decided she didn't want to go because she wanted to have friends over.  She had no plans with anybody, so I don't know what she was thinking.  I told her we had to go to the dance and she was fine with that until we got home and she realized that the neighbors across the road were out playing and she wanted to go over there.  Abigail wanted to go to the dance so I let Emily put play clothes on and me and Abigail put our dressy dresses on and went to the dance.    We had such a good day.  Thanks for everyone that helped make her day special!
