Emma's Birthday Party
Emma had a friends birthday party on Friday, November 22nd.  Emma invited her friend Makenna and her cousins Kaylie, Rachel, and Jessica.  We had homemade chili and salsa for dinner (one of Emma's favorites).  I made Emma a cake with a Nightwing symbol on it, and Brad and I gave her the first series of Young Justice on DVD.  Emma was so thrilled with her birthday gift that she ran over to kiss Brad and me.  The girls had a fun night playing video games, singing songs, giggling, and laughing all night.
