Emmy and I share a birthday.  It’s today as a matter of fact!

This is a monumental birthday for Em, her 18th.  Singing Sally decided to have a party for us this past weekend before everyone went their separate ways.  It was a raucous affair.  And, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen Emmy have more fun.  That girl had a smile on her face the entire evening.  Check it out!

Making the pizza.

Em doesn’t normally love being around Saje, but oddly, she was enjoying it on this night.

 

 

It was a pretty magical evening for Em.  She is normally gluten intolerant, but amazingly, on this evening she was able to eat as much gluten as she wanted.

And, look, she smiled the whole time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

After stuffing herself with gluten, Em went on to party like there was no tomorrow.  Here we have a little crazy Jazz hands action.  That girl was out of control, let me tell you.

 

Look at those birthday buddies having fun together.  We do share a special bond.  And, I’m thinking I will wear that hat for all future photographs.  It cuts down on the double chin.  But I’m not sure the hat does much for Em.  She’s looking a little flat.

 

I had been wondering just why it was that Em was unusually smiley on this evening.  I believe I’ve found my answer:

Dear Emmy,

We missed you Saturday night, but as you can see, we made do without you.  And your proxy had a smashing good time.

This 18th birthday is a very special one.  You are officially an adult.  But, please don’t ever let that stop you from acting like a kid.  See the post a few days back about your Uncle if you need lessons.

Love,

AABB  (Aunt Annie, Birthday Buddy)
