Grandma's 90!



This weekend we celebrated my Grandmother's 90th birthday! It was a surprise party/weekend at Spring Mill Inn in the state park in southern Indiana. She was super suprised and we all had a great time! It was a perfect place to just hang out and relax (as much as you can with a 20 month old). It was good to spend some time with family. It was pretty cold outside, so for the most part we stayed indoors. We got to go swimming, which Emma hated at first, but she finally had fun towards the end. She was shivering the whole time, even though the water was quite warm. The only mishap we had was that Emma got her finger slammed in the bathroom door. It was pretty bad, half the morning was dedicated to tending to her ouchy finger. Poor little girl! I think it still hurts a little bit. Emma befriended a stuffed wolf that was at the gift shop, it looked really scary to me as it howled in the air, but she loved it and kept hugging it and saying "doggie, doggie". She also liked the huge life like stuffed Smoky the Bear, he was pretty cool! Emma had a great time hanging out with her cousins, especially Sammy. She really liked being around him, and tended to mimik everything he was doing, including sticking her hand down Smoky the Bear's pants! :) They were very cute together! For Easter, Emma got an Elmo Easter basket with lots of eggs in it that she loved playing with. She also got a mini Elmo see and say and a mini doodle pro pad. We stopped at the Cheesecake Factory in Indianapolis on the way back home. It was yummy as usual!

Video! I know, I'm behind the times!

This is a couple of months old, but I finally had time to figure out how to add video to our blog.
