Today is my friend Emma's 16 birthday!!!!! :)

Emma, you have no idea what a great friend you are. Through the last year-and-a-half, we've gone through a lot together...as individuals and as friends. Thanks for sticking with me, girl! You have no idea how you've blessed me in so many ways...I don't know what I did before we became friends. You're always there to listen to me complain, sigh, cry (wow, that rhymed) and just be happy. Thanks for being there.

So, for your birthday....we're going to burn pancakes! :P It's the best I could do, dearie, even though we're not 62 yet. Or, you're not anyways. :) Sorry guys, inside joke.

What else can we do? We could finish our book...um, no. Let's go to a ball! (ish)

But, of course, since we're Baptist...dancing isn't exactly..well...anyways, moving on. Here's your BEAUTIFUL dress:

Isn't it just beautiful? And here's your wondermus tiara:

Oh that'd be SO beautiful in your hair, Emy dearest.

And, in honor of your birthday, the guest of honor (you'll find out who that is in just a second) will present you with this:

At your very formal (and very elegant) formal dinner hosted in your honor:

And your guests? Well, apart from your family, some friends (yes, Meggy and Toria included), here's the rest of your extended guest list:

:P And now the cake!!!

Isn't it lovely? It tastes good too...but, I bet it'd taste better with one of these:

Ahh...the wonders of sweets. :) But, where exactly is the party at, anyways?

Ah, just lovely, isn't it? So peaceful....

Well, I wish we could do all that...but, in reality, all I can say is "Happy Birthday, Emma!" and give you your present later on. :)

Love you much lots, girl!
