Kristin & Emma’s TV debut

Check this out…Emma and I were interviewed for Maranda’s weekly West Michigan show–this is the program that I blog for. So fun! Next stop…Today Show–ha! For those of you who know me well, you know I am so kidding on this one. This was a big step for me–taking a risk because the door was wide open…I think it turned out pretty good. And I’m taking any tips you all might have for any future interviews!

Emma’s big day

What do you get when you mix…

* a purple cake with pink and yellow trim (chocolate and vanilla inside) with a bird nest and jellybean eggs and a bird, feathers and all on top–every bit designed by her.

* a waffle breakfast, sprinkles and all

* opening multiple bird themed presents–and most before 7:30 am!

* a treasure hunt for a Razor scooter (that’s been on her wish list for 6+ months)

*lots of birthday wishes from family and friends–thanks for the phone calls, voicemails, emails, and drop by’s!

*a day of bird crafts, a favorite video, and supper at McDonalds with a playland (her choice, NOT ours!!)…

you get…a very excited, very happy SIX year old!!

Happy Birthday, Emma Grace! Hard to believe that our dear firstborn is now six, entering kindergarten. She’s such a wonderful part of our family–a leader, a thinker, creative, sensitive, kind hearted, and funny too. Learning what it means to love God and love others too. What a gal…I’m so thankful that it is she who is helping me understand what it means to be a mom–I’m learning as she grows…
