Emmy turned 2 on July 6th. We started celebrating early with the Fourth of July and uploaded lots of photos to the Shutterfly website on the right of the page. She had a great Fourth of July which started with a neighborhood pancake breakfast, face painting and we decorated her wagon for the parade around the lake. On her birthday we took the three kids for a picnic and paddle boat rides. Her birthday celebration was yesterday with our family and friends. We had princess and the frog party and lots of great food.
Once again my sister made an amazing cake for Emmy. I thought it would be tough to top last years' three tier fire cracker cake, but she did with this amazing castle. Emmy loves princesses, Toy Story characters and frogs. It had all of her favorites represented. I am not sure how much it weighed, but I know it was a lot. Emmy was in heaven. The signing of Happy Birthday included Emmy signing to herself. Unfortunately I messed up the video and did not capture all of it.
She loves frogs and being a princess. These were her decorations and invitations. She loved all the balloons. Her first delivery of balloons arrived on her birthday from our good friends Janice and Lue in Florida. Her balloon bouquet arrived with a soft teddy bear. She was in heaven getting her first delivery.
Close up of the cake. My sister is so creative and amazing with the detail she puts in. I keep telling her she should go into business. The creative detail took her time over 4 days. She says she is not sure how to do more next year. I am sure she can.
The grand finale was Emmy getting an amazing gift from her "bamma" (my mom), my grandma, my sister Sissy and my brother in law Bill. A Cadillac Escalade! Yes it really runs nice. The radio works and she has room for a passenger. She was driving it immediately and even asked for her purse to set on her chair beside her. I am not sure where we will be parking it. She woke up first thing and asked to drive her car. Following her spin around the street, Yancey and Jack lit off fireworks in her honor. You will see on the other pictures, she watched from the kitchen window as she is not a fan of the loud noise. It was a great week! She has so many people who love her.

WOW! What a birthday! I love the cake--your sister has amazing talent. I'd love to know how she did it!
Now that's a party fit for a Princess, or maybe a Queen. You know, if I didn't know better I'd think that little girl may be getting just a tad spoiled.
Great pictures. Your sister should turn pro on those cakes - and charge plenty.
