Emmy had her 5th birthday celebration on Sunday, Feb 20 (which is her birthday). We chose to do a family celebration rather than a party with friends as her daycare friends are all considerably younger than her, including her beloved Landon aka her boyfriend who is 3.
She had no lack of presents by any means. My parents sent her a portable DVD player and a DVD of Alvin and the Chipmunks. It is a week later as I write this and it is still her favorite gift. She also received a keyboard, a U-draw game tablet for the Wii, 2 Leap Pad Explorer games and a HUGE stuffed bear from Uncle Sheldon and Aunt Lorna. I have purposely left out her new doll "Allyson" aka Chucky, who we are hoping Em only has a short fascination with. We can't even blame All-chucky's arrival on anyone else as Keith bought it for her and was a leftover Christmas gift. It never shuts up. Ever. Just when you think it has gone to sleep, it starts again.
We had a good day - We had lunch at Grandma's and had cake and family time. We took Emmy to see Gnomeo and Juliet, which was in 3-D. As it was dark when we got into the theatre, I randomly handed out the glasses to Keith and Em. Unbeknown st to me, I had the kids size and Em had the adult pair. For the entire movie I had these REALLY small and tight glasses on and didn't even clue in. Good thing it was a good movie!
