The anticipation and excitement was boiling over for one very excited little girl who just could NOT wait to turn 8 years old on November 4th. Emma Patryce, oh how we love you! We share in your great joy for another year of life to celebrate. For indeed it is a marvelous gift from our heavenly Father. You are all too quickly growing up!
Emma claims that this year was the best birthday ever. And it rightly may be so as this is only the 2nd birthday in her lifetime that she has celebrated in person with an extension of our family. Her celebrations began on Saturday with a shopping and lunch date with her great Aunt Mary. A family dinner with her choice of menu, which included: pulled pork, "smashed" potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green beans, jello, yeast rolls, chocolate cake with a horse theme and peanut butter cup ice cream. Samuel provided the entertainment with a "stunning" magic show. I think the family got more of a laugh out of the dejavù feeling, as this was something Jonathan had done at his own 7th birthday party back in the day. Samuel was clueless about the event in his dad's life, therefore, only further solidifing that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Luca joined in with his illusion and did a great job too!
Thank you to all who sent cards, emails, called or gave presents. You made her day!
