Happy Birthday Emily - Part 7, 8, & 9

This is Emily's 7th birthday. This would be the beginning of a LONG line of slumber parties! In fact, I think she has had at least a few friends stay over every birthday since then. We made and decorated pillow cases, had a fashion show, and stayed up VERY late! It was a lot of fun.
This is Emily's 8th birthday. She had a fishing/camp out party. I don't exactly remember how this one came to be except for the fact that she wanted a tent for her birthday. Mr. Elton volunteered (sort of) to take the girls (and Owen & Andrew) fishing. They went to the pond that was behind the church. It is more like a marsh now than a pond. Anyway, you can see all the fish they caught. After fishing, they came back to our house cooked out on the grill (no, not the fish!), swam in the pool and camped in the tent outside. Luckily, the weather held out and it didn't rain.

This is Emily's 9th birthday. We had just gone ice skating. That was before there was a factory. Mr. Richard (Leigh & Andrew's dad) and Emily's grandma came to the rink too. This was our first experience ice skating. Although we had a great time, we learned it is very cold and sometimes wet!
