motherhood.
Emma was born.
4 years?!
PS-this post is 4 years long too...
Where is my little baby girl?
Well she is not here. Emma is officially a little girl and is having quite the time.
I am such a nice mom and took a picture of her as I opened her door...I love when kids have the morning look...it's so cute!
I made her pancakes and fruit with whip cream...yummy.
Next was opening presents. Just ignore everyone's tired look..it was about 8 AM when she opened her present.
Also, ignore the sad attempt she has made to have a "blue dress" or in other words, a 1980's robe...it's hideous and so glad she received a replacement today...
She was SO SO excited about this gift...her beloved Blue Cinderella Dress.
again, so excited..
She opened the rest of her gifts...crown, blue slippers, wand and earrings, and a Cinderella Ballerina barbie that I got for $5, brand new!
ha haa oh don't worry, I walked in and found her like this, just staring at herself in the mirror...vain much?
She then preceded to ask Joe, "Daddy, will you dance with me outside?"
I just started laughing...where does she come up with this?!...oh right, she's in her fantasy Cinderella life...
Next was getting her cake ready. I had asked her what kind of cake she wanted..."Cinderella Cake!"
So it was either a normal cake where I would have to draw her face on it or attempt this...and attempt I did!
Singing time! Don't you love where I put the candles...where do you put them on the dress?!
Not too bad considering that this was the first time to made this type of cake...it looks alot harder than it is...and don't you love the fake Cinderella barbie doll I got from the .99 store?!
I honestly don't know where her obsession of Cinderella came from. We never watch that movie. The only "princess" movies we've watch lately has been Enchanted...and that's it! She has a few "Disney Princess" items and just got a Princess backpack but that's it. it was only a few weeks ago that he started wanting a "big blue dress like Cinderella"...i am still confused. I don't care what people say, girls are naturally programed to want things like this! There was zero pushing from me...so now, she is Cinderella crazed. But it's fun to indulge since she's never been into anything like this...and maybe i've gone too far..she honestly thinks she is Cinderella. She has been wearing that attire ALL day and sing Cinderella songs as she dances around the house...it's just too funny. Emma has definitely made life, life!
At this age, she loves princesses, preschool, cutting, coloring, helping me make stuff in the kitchen, helping her little sister to play in the backyard, or the forest, as she likes to put it,
She is becoming so smart and talking a lot more in just the past few months.
She has always been social and continues to amaze and embarrass me ;)
She loves to play with friends and considers any kids at the park "friends"
I am so grateful that she is apart of my family and that I can continue to love her and be her best friend.
Happy Birthday Sweetie.
And here I am, 34 weeks along. Seriously ready to be done. And waiting for the weather to cool down too...any time mother nature!
I finally invested in a straightener and just glad that I did my hair today... and who knows the next time...;) I am posing for Joe here since he likes my hair straight..trying to get a decent pic....if that is even possible when this pregnant!

Happy Bday Emma! You look great Lyssa. I can't believe your baby boy will be here soon.
Such a cute little Cinderella! I can't believe Emma is 4!
Oh, and we need to play again! :)
What a fun post. I'm glad she likes her Princess stuff so much, it makes it fun when they are "into" stuff!! And I agree, they are all programmed like that to some degree! Avery is becoming so girlie! She HAS to have her purse when she goes anywhere with me, she is in LOVE with a necklace my mom gave her (even though it doesn't match everything) and is just 100% girl. I love it! It makes gift giving easier too:)
Good job on the cake too. I've heard those ones can be a little tricky. Loved your comment about the candles. Really, where else would you put them other than her front or coming out her rear?? I'm sure Emma loved her cake!
You look great like always. Your hair that long reminds me of the first time I met you, all preggo and beautiful with baby Emma in your belly. Can't wait to see pictures of Joe Jr.!!
She looks so cute in her cinderella dress! I would indulge in her obesesion too if I were you! I mean really what fun are girls if you can't give them what they want and make them a princess. :)
happy birthday emma! and looking good mama. looking really good. not too much longer now!
I love this post with all the pics. The Cinderella cake is quite impressive. Happy Birthday Emma!
P.S. What kind of straightner did you get? I'm looking for one.
Awwww. So precious. She has been gorgeous since day one. Looks like you made her birthday one that will go down in the books. Amazing job on the cake, too!
Wow, your little girl is so precious! I love the picture of her looking in the mirror at herself in the princess outfit.
The princess cake looks AMAZING. I hope to be able to make a cake like that someday when I get a little girl that runs around in princess dresses all day. What a fun mom you are!
so so cute! i am still reeling that you have a FOUR year old?! WOW! what a doll she is! That mirror picture is CLASSIC!
34 weeks already?! WOWZAH! Good luck making it through the next few weeks!!
Lyssa! Thanks for the comment. You are no more of a blog stalker than I am....I've visited your blog a time or two! Good to see your adorable little family. Almost mother of THREE...WOW!!! Congrats and good to hear from you. Stalk my blog any old time!
Peyton is in the same cinderella fantasy phase. Everything is Cinderella. And up... She will be Cinderella for Halloween. I don't think she'd allow it any other way. I can't believe she is 4! I lover he cake. You did awesome. I might have to steal your idea if I can't get this princess thing out of Peyton's head in the next 6 months. And you look great! I don't know how you do it in such hot weather though. :-) I bet you guys are getting excited to meet this little boy.
Aw! I didn't know it was her bday! I am impressed with the cake--and laughing very hard at the candles and at the dead torso laying on the table after the cutting of said cake. And you are such an ADORABLE pregnant lady. I know it's hard to believe when you feel that way. but trust me on this one, ok?
Emma's cake turned out so cute! My sister made a cake like that once and said it was pretty hard. You did a great job. I can't believe that Emma and Bradley are four! I rememeber when we took pictures of them laying next to each other on a blanket when they were just a few weeks old.
Emma does look like a princess in her dress. Happy Birthday Emma!!
She does look so much more grown up. And you are looking great-less than 2 months to go!
