Pre-Birthday Celebration

Grandma and Granddad Miller, Aunt Laura, Uncle Andy and Jacob never get the chance to be here for Emily's birthday and since they were all in town for Thanksgiving (and brought Emily's gifts) we decided to let her open a few early.  Grandma and Granddad bought her the Tag reading system that helps with early reading and other pre-K skills.  But of course Emily thinks it is mostly a big game.  Little does she know that she is recognizing more and more words every day!  Great gift Grandma & Granddad!


Jacob, being the good cousin that he is, went the toy route!  He bought her a whole collection of the Fairies from the Secret of the Wings movie (the latest in the Tinker Bell saga).  This movie features new fairy friends who live in winter woods.  In this gift  all the fairies are wearing ice skates for a fairy skating party.  It was a huge hit with Emily!  Aunt Laura and Uncle Andy also got her an Olivia Christmas book, which we have already read at least half a doze times.  It was nice to give her a little bit of birthday early.

Emily ADORES Jacob.  She talked about him for days even after he left.

Great pic of Emily and Jacob (and the fairies).
