Emma’s 2^nd birthday in October was a great celebration. My Mom and Stepdad drove out from Denver for the occasion, which Emma enjoyed very, very much. She and my mom did activities each day like making cookies or decorating a Halloween pumpkin, read books and had tea parties. We also held a Grandparents Luncheon for all the grandparents. We will make that a tradition each year, for we plan on taking her birthday off from work each year to have it. It was really a great day, and a wonderful week with my Mom and Stepdad here.
