Today is Em's actual birthday. She woke to the aroma of breakfast burritos. The morning was spent on the phone with various grandparents and cousins and opening of gifts--lots of shower gels and scenty lotions, a purse, some tunes and other girly things.
Just after lunch we went to see the movie Horton Hears a Who. Emily at first didn't want to see it because she thought it was a movie for babies. For a baby movie, she giggled through the whole thing and really enjoyed herself. (it isn't a baby movie by the way)
Dinner was a Gilmer family tradition began before the kids were even a glimmer...pizza in front of the Cosby Show. Emily has become very fond of cheesecake so I made that instead of traditional birthday cake. Let me tell you
I didn't miss trying to decorate a cake with buttercream icing, especially in this climate where it tends to run off the cake. After dinner Em gave herself a facial. Isn't she just so cute.

In many ways she is getting so old, but she is still the same fun girl who loves and embraces life. Below is an example. She took these pictures up on the roof one evening last week. The first is her self portrait---very 13. The next are her and Will being their normal crazy selves. I'm glad she hasn't left childhood behind completely.
