Saturday--she will be 2 on Thursday!

So this past Saturday we celebrated Emma's 2nd birthday with my mom, Aunt Sheri and Aunt Jess' family. It was the best day! First, I was surprised by my Aunt Sheri making the trip up from Orlando to spend the weekend with us! What an awesome surprise!! Saturday started out with a trip to the Handmade Market in downtown Raleigh. This was a place with a whole bunch of vendors featuring their own unique crafts. Emma got a cute little penguin. It was fun. Then we walked a couple blocks to The Raleigh Times for lunch. It was a great afternoon. The day was finished with a mini-celebration for Emma's birthday. There was family,food and cupcakes...a perfect evening if you ask me! Thank you, everyone for such a fun day!!! We love you :)

Enjoy the pictures. We had a great day!
