Emma's birthday

Joe's mom (a.k.a. Silly Mom Mom) and sister Allison came to visit for Emma's eighth birthday. We played lots of games.


Emma went to breakfast with Daddy, a birthday tradition for us.


Presents!




"I know there is a gift in here somewhere!"

Emma took some pictures outside.

In the afternoon, we all piled in the minivan with Mom Mom sitting on the redneck style 8th seat (a small cooler placed between the middle seats), and we headed into Cleveland. More on our destination in the next post.

Lake Erie was still frozen.

After a birthday dinner of shrimp scampi, we had ice cream cake.
