The actual first day of school pics are at the bottom of this post because I got them out of order. This past Friday night we took the girls to the square to see all the old cars that were there. They loved the fountain! I'm pretty sure Emma would've jumped in if we hadn't been holding her back!
They were playing some classic rock n' roll like "Mustang Sally" and other stuff. Both girls were "gettin' down!!!" Emma kept saying, "Dance! Momma, Dance!"
One of my co-workers had one of their cars up there and the girls got to sit inside.
Earlier that day after school we met up with some friends at Aikin. We called it a "Kiddie Kollege" reunion. These kiddos have been together there since they were just babies, but have gone their seperate ways this year. It has been very hard on Aubrie. She really misses her friends. They had so much fun playing together!
Tinslee, Kate, & Aubrie
Aubrie & Maicey
Aubrie actually felt like posing on this day!!!
Emma was her normal fearless self....
You probably noticed that she's missing her pants. She had a major blow out after we got there, but it didn't stop her from having a blast! 
Emma & Christopher. Look how he is holding her feet and talking to her! So cute!
The big kids were very sweet to include Emma in their fun!
This was the night before....the girls were helping daddy cook supper. This is the best one I got, but I included the other pics when Aubrie wasn't looking because they were so cute of Emma.

Excuse the fact that some pics are big and some small. I copied some from my friend Molly's Facebook so that is why....
Poppy taking E for a ride!
Happy girl! Thanks to Tammy for allowing us to use the Kiddie Kollege riding toys for entertainment!
Some special friends were there...
Anna Claire
Ridge
Mason
And special family as well! Doesn't Poppy look excited to be there?
The Mimi...not sure what she was looking at???
Cousins Colby, Melissa, and baby Leighton
Miss Leighton...hopefully Emma and her will be very close growing up....I always wished for a girl cousin that was close to my age. They are 8 months apart.
Cousin Julia with Aubrie
Cousin Kira with Kaitlyn
My precious grandparents....AKA Toots & Pop! So blessed that they are still in good health and can attend the birthday parties of their 5 great granddaughters!
Pop....turned 87 this week! 
Grand Molly...nice tonsils!
I asked Grand Molly to read some stories to the kids since she is the most animated person I know! She was happy to oblige and the kids loved it!!! Thanks again, sweet friend! 
Listening intently to the story! Her party had a "storybook" theme since she has been absolutely IN LOVE with books since she could sit up! Books over toys ANY day for her!
Ridge and Mason enjoying the story....
I had to go to a Leadership retreat the night before the party and got in town just a couple of hours before it started! Michael and Aubrie made cupcakes and brownies and had a great time! I did manage to make the little cupcake toppers that were little pictures of famous children's book covers! You may be able to click on the small pics to see the detail!
We got Emma a little cake of her own so that she could have candles to blow out! That's about all she did since she doesn't care for sweets at all. I can't tell you the last time she would try an cake, cookie, or candy....no complaints from Mommy though!
Julia and Mason eating up those cupcakes! Atleast someone enjoyed them!
Chocolate-faced Ridge and his mommy Amy!
It's a hard life, huh baby boy!
She did enjoy the Sugar Free Kool-aid very much!
Present time! She got like 25 new books, along with some very cute outfits and puzzles! 
See how she just lights up when she has a book in her hand!
Mimi and Emma
Somehow the pic of the Elmo outfit got lost in the shuffle of posting pics on here. It is so cute. She made the hat too that you see in this pic. Emma won't wear it for even a second. I warned Mimi of this too! But isn't it cute?!
Poppy was happy to model it!
Thanks to my sweet hubby and daddy for getting everything set up for the party so that I could go to the retreat! Mimi helped tremendously too! What would I do without my sweet family?!
