She had a Frozen themed birthday (imagine that!)
I got her an upcycled dress from okeedokee kids.
Thanks Sam's Club for the awesome cake/cupcake mix. It was so much cheaper and didn't fall apart like Emma's past fancy cakes...
Emma had a ton of friends there. I was shocked that everyone we invited showed up. She had a great time with everyone! We rented an inflatable jump house and we had a friend that did balloon animals for the kids.
Emma had a lot of help opening her gifts, there was a group of five girls that were all around she opened!
My sister-in-law got Emma this scooter she had wanted forever, I think that was her favorite gift of the night!
For Emma's actual birthday we went and spent the weekend at my parent's camper in Pigeon Forge. It was SO crowded because of all the fall decorations and the changing leaves (and apparently schools have fall breaks. Not my system!)
We started the morning out with a birthday biscuit (chicken minis from Chick-fil-a)
Then we headed to Dollywood. Emma rode the low key rides and we enjoyed the decor. We met up with her friend Lauren and they played at one of the play stations before we headed home for a nap.
After dinner and a nap we headed over to where Lauren and her parents were staying for some night swimming. They actually were able to swim outside, crazy for middle of October, but they enjoyed it!
Lauren's mom mentioned that Ripley's was letting teachers into the aquarium for free over the weekend so on Saturday we headed to Gatlinburg and the three of us enjoyed the aquarium for $3.40! I was pretty excited to actually see the sea turtle swimming, he is usually hiding when we go! We took Emma to this aquarium for her 1st birthday trip!
When we finished up we walked the area that is Gatlinburg (look it up!) We ate at a popular BBQ place and stopped at our favorite arcade.
We also did some shopping and just enjoyed a few days away from the house. It was a great birthday!
This week Emma had to go in for her 4 year check up. Oh my gravy those shots were by far worse than any set she had as a baby!!! I think it will take me years to recover from that experience!!!
This weekend was my birthday! We kept it low key, I got some yummy cupcakes from my favorite bakery and I spent time with some friends! Next weekend is Carson Newman's homecoming so Emma and I are going to travel back down to the camper for the weekend with one of my college friends!
Fall is here. It is cold and the leaves are covering everything!
