Emi's birthday, Easter, and more

It has been a wonderful few days! The 18th was Emi's 2nd birthday. Todd, my mom, and I took her out to a wonderful brunch that day at a great new restaurant. On Saturday, her grandparents and aunt and uncle and cousins came to celebrate with her. 


Emi requested chocolate cake for her birthday. This was one of my favorite cakes I've ever made. 


Emi's great-grandma gave her a little white bear that plays "Jesus Loves Me." Emi wanted to play it over and over again and sing along with it.


This is from when we visited family over spring break. Sweet photo of the girls with their cousin Josh:


I took the girls to a children's museum and they got to ride a carousel. I don't think Emi liked having to turn around and pose for the photo:


Just a sweet time relaxing in her bunny seat at home (bunny sit, she calls it).


We got her a little pillow, new soft blanket, and the softest stuffed bunny I've ever felt for her birthday:


During Emi's party, we had several egg hunts:



The girls checking out their Easter baskets:


Alaina and I had fun decorating Easter eggs:


Emi loves being outside, going for walks, playing on playgrounds, etc.! This is from a walk we went on today. I thought the trees with white flowers were so pretty lining this street:


I hope she will always want to be my walking buddy!
