Emily's Birthday Party

We celebrated Emily's 2nd birthday yesterday. Anne invited several of Emily's friends over to have the party. They made ghosts, and fruit loop bracelets and then the typical cake and gifts. Here is a video and a few pictures of her party. Thanks to those that came and also those that gave gifts.

You can see the excitement for her new bike. She'll be growing into this one but definitely loves to be pushed around. If you would like to come by and provide service doing so, you would become immediate friends. Hopefully she'll grow another inch and learn to use her feet and steer.
Audrey was very helpful and stayed fairly quite sitting in her bouncer chair. I think she had plenty of new people to observe and keep herself occupied.

Anne is participating in what they call "Bountiful baskets" where you pay $15 per week for fruits and vegetables. You don't have to do it every week, but on Saturday mornings you go and pick up a basket. I have been impressed with what you get and you definitely get your monies worth. I've eaten things we don't typically buy such as artichokes, celery, cauliflower etc. Yesterday she had several pomegranates in the mix. As Grandpa Johnson loves his pomegranates, I wanted to add a picture of the Emily's first try. She loves it as you can see.
