This past week we celebrated Emma's fourth birthday and purchased a minivan!
We met Papa Paul and Grandma Janis at the mall on Saturday for Emma's birthday. Emma picked out a kitty at Build-A-Bear and then chose Chick-fil-a (her favorite place) for lunch. We ended the trip with a chocolate cupcake and the play place. She had a great day but was a bit confused since we're having her party next weekend. We decided to combine her and Noah's party since they're only two weeks apart. When she woke up that morning she informed us that she really wasn't four because she didn't grow any bigger. Guess she expected to be taller ;) I can hardly believe she's already four and can still remember the day she made her big arrival. She continues to make us laugh and surprises us with her vocabulary and expressions. Emma is a real joy and we are excited to see what God has in store for her life.
Monday we made a trip to Marshalltown to pick up our minivan! It is a blue/gray 2004 Honda Odyssey and seems too nice for us. I know it won't stay that way once our little family does some damage. We both really like the extra space and it's so much easier getting the kids in and out of their car seats. Ethan wasn't so sure at first about a minivan but I think it's growing on him. Emma loves it mainly because it has a DVD player. She is only allowed to use it on long trips but it will be great since we do lots of driving.
