We started a new birthday tradition this year...we made aGINGERBREAD HOUSE
Mom and Dad put their building skills to use. Originally we had looked into getting a gingerbread house mold, but then got creative and designed our own style and size. We love building projects, especially the kind you can EAT ;)
Holly made a mini-gingerbread house (3x3) for her friend, Rebecca at church whose birthday was also on March 13th : )
Holly bought Emily a new American girl dress for her doll Samantha
The girls had a birthday celebration at church, for Emily and Rebecca
Emily's gift from Rebecca, a hat and scarf for Samanatha
The BIG gift...a huge, unexpected SURPRISE!
too cute that I had to add this one
Emily chose to have lunch at Samboli'spizza...calzones...pizza steaks...YUM!!!
Our neighbors bought Emily a Jessie doll...they said you are only a child once and she needed one, so thanks Marsha and Steve, you're AWESOME!
Birthday cake this year was hot fudge cake with ice cream
