Emily Turns 14

It is hard to believe Emily is 14, what is even harder to believe is that she will be starting High School in about a month.  She is a wonderful daughter who is a blessing in our lives.  She decided she wanted a kindle for her birthday.  The kids all picked gifts for her on their own.  They all did a great job finding stuff they knew she would like.  We took her out to the Olive Garden for dinner.  Emily loves Italian food, but some of the other kids hate it, so this is really her only chance she gets to have Italian with the whole family.  Here are a few pictures from her big day.
