Haircuts!!!

Here are the girls sporting their new do's.

This is Melody. She is the one who cut the girls' hair. She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside!
Thanks, Melody!

Emma was a little grumpy this morning. :(

Emma's Happy TuTu

...that is Zephan's way of saying, "Birthday"/ "Happy Birthday to you".

Hello Kitty Celebration at Nana and PawPaw's

Emma and Harris survey the cake.

Mermaid celebration with cake by Honey.

Celebrating with GranBud and Grammie, cousin Whitney and Aunt Chelle (not pictured) from Albania (you guys did fly all the way here to celebrate Emma's bday, right? :) )

Close up of the cake by Honey

I don't think we could eat another piece of birthday cake. Emma's birthday was wonderfully celebrated! What a girl. Emma is such a special girl. What a smile!
It is really wonderful to be your parents, Emma. We truly enjoy the journey parenting you. It is so fun to see who you are becoming. You have a kind heart and are always willing to share (one needs only to ask). We love you so so much!
Your Daddy and I pray that you come to know Jesus as your savior at an early age so that you can have lots of time to walk with Him and get to know Him. We also pray that you will have a hunger for His word. It is a source of joy, comfort, challenge, and connection with the incredible God who loves you!

One of the things I love about Emma is that she marches to the beat of her own drummer.

Emma's 3rd Birthday...a "little" late

Fairy Princess Birthday

Exquisite cake by Honey...beautiful and YUMMY!

This was her face while we sang Happy Birthday...too precious!

Sweet Emma. We are so thankful for this precious girl. She is funny, creative, sweet, independent, nurturing, and loves to dress up. She is also such a helper.



I just noticed the other day that I never blogged Emma's big day in October, shame on me!

ONLY IN TEXAS!

Yep, we had snow today-lots of it.
I was wearing capri length pants and crocs yesterday. Today the heater was on and I was in my cozy, cold weather clothes.

Our friends, the Mays, walked down to play in the snow. Chris May had everyone snowball fighting-thanks, Chris.
Gavin was down the street playing with some other friends so he didn't make the photo session.
We sure enjoy our neighborhood, there is always someone willing to throw a snowball at you.

Snow Angels...

Zephan's first EVER experience of snow!

Avery's gonna get me!

Emma tasting the snow

The kiddos were so excited about the snow. We had a little teaser snow on Monday night but nothing stuck and the temp was pretty warm Tuesday and Wednesday. Today, the flakes that fell were HUGE and gorgeous. We all felt so blessed. The kids had prayed for snow and so they felt especially excited to see the glorious flakes.

She's Three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There she goes...

the joys of being a child!
