Emmett is 3!!

On Saturday, Emmett turned 3!
He was very excited for his turn in the spotlight and praying about what he wanted for his birthday every night! One night last week, he stopped mid-prayer, looked at Jason and Gracie and said in his deep, husky 'serious' voice, "You don't open my presents, right guys?". Jason and Gracie looked at each other and said, "Nope, Emmett. They are all for you!". Too funny! I just hope we can make it a few months without ANY birthday talk because this last year was "exhausting"!!
Emmett enjoyed his full day of fun. After his choice of breakfast food (cinnamon rolls from a nearby bakery) and opening of family presents. He and Jason headed out to the "animal store" (Scheels sporting goods) to "shoot" animals in the shooting gallery - success! Emmett shot a bear, a skunk, and a fish!
After the outing, we were at home enjoying some overdue sunny weather and Emmett was trying out all his new outdoor toys. We had cheese pizza for dinner followed by a chocolate football cake and one more present from our neighbors. It was a great day!



He was very excited to get several new football-themed shirts.
