For Emily's birthday we held the Emily Olympics at our house for some of her buddies. I am happy to report that all went well. There were five events and a relay. We had the pixie stix javelin throw, the Frisbee discus, the balance beam, the long jump, and the water balloon shot put. To end the Olympic games we did a relay with Will's swim trunks and shirts and a set of goggles. The kids looked so cute. Finally we had an awards ceremony where each child was awarded a certificate and medal. We clapped for each athlete. The kids were so excited to get their medals. This is the end of the birthday festivities at our house for the year. BUT, Emily gets to celebrate her birthday at school on Monday. The First day of school, too. What a treat. She says she wants to bring Krispie Kremes for snack. I am so proud of her!

We are so sad we missed it! I haven't had the heart to tell Camryn that the big day was today. :( Luckily she's feeling better tonight, but just didn't want to risk sharing this bug. We definitely want to bring Emily's gift by soon and wish her a happy 4th birthday! :)
This is the cutest idea for a birthday I've ever heard of!! I want to hang out with you guys. I sent my love along with Dave the other night as I convalesced on the couch with my aching feet. :)
