She really is a sweet girl! So here are some of her B-Day moments in all their glory!

You couldn't wipe the smile off her face if you tried. She was ECSTACTIC about her new phone! Oh no it had started already the moment it touched her hands... she's a true teenager now...!!! On her family b-day her grandma & grandpa surprised her with a brand new cell phone all her own. It was not going to arrive for a few days... but she was so so so HAPPY!

Look at this yumminess 2 cakes... she is so special! I wonder if she was wishing for a cell phone... hmmm A nice family shot. This is what Emily recieved at school, granpda & grandma picked her up from school that day with balloons & flowers, so sweet! Then the celebration began from there! Her sweet loving brother got up early & made her a b-day breakfast. He was so excited to do it all by himself. Love this! He pretended to be her waiter & got her b-day breakfast order... And such a good server he was.

Ahhh there is love at home... sometimes... here is proof!

This is Emily's sleep over with her friends. The girls all had a blast. We made some cute crafts, they sang & danced, we made homemade pizzas, & they played a get to know you game all about yours truly Emily the B-day girl! I think the night was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!

Here are the craft projects, they turned out really adorable. Ok this picture is strange and needs some explaining. The girls were playing Murder, it's a guessing game. It was really cute & they had fun with it. One of these crazies was the murderer... hmmm it's so hard to tell they all look a bit crazy! Who doesn't love donuts!

We sure love you Emily Elaine Gatchell. We are so glad that you are a part of our lives. You makes us smile & make us proud every day!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMI G YOU ARE THE BIG 1---3 !!!! YIPPIE!!!!
