We celebrated Brian and Emora's birthdays together last weekend at the party house, er, the Koop's house. They have a perfect party spot with lots of room for tons of cousins and friends.
Speaking of cousins and friends, here were some of the guests.
and some more- this side of the room was a bit tamer than the other.
Emora loved her Roughrider jacket and her many, many other gifts, even though I told everyone not to worry about gifts. All she cares about is singing the song and cake, but she did enjoy opening them all- with the help of her siblings who could not keep their hands off all the gift paper and bags.
Dominique bought her dad his favorite gum.
This is one of our favorite cakes- it's the moistest chocolate cake ever and so easy to make!
Dominique bought herself these same butterfly wings and wand in pink a week or so ago, so when I told her that Emora's birthday was coming up, she knew immediately what she wanted to get her little sister- the purple ones!
Emora had a hard time trying to get a bite though, while holding her wand. Finally she figured out that she had to set the wand down to eat her cake!2 years ago, we convinced Emora to make her appearance. She thought it was pretty cozy in the womb, but we thought her much more comfortable in our arms. She continues to bring joy, laughter and surprises our way and we are loving to know her more and more.
