Wade gave Sarah a beautiful blessing on October 10, 2010, surrounded by family and friends. She wore a precious hand knitted dress my cousin, Carolynn, made. Since Sarah is the second daughter, just like me, and I was nicknamed "angel" by my parents, we nicknamed her "angel" as well. Never was that name more fitting than on her blessing day because she truly looked like a little angel, all in white.
Since Sarah's
blessing day was the day after Wade's birthday and a week before Emily's birthday, we had one big celebration for each of them with family. Here's some of the group enjoying the BBQ pork sandwiches. 
And here's a handful of the cousins eating together and being silly.
PS) What's new? Being silly is what they do best.
Emily with her Ariel cake
I'm a pretty simple gal and just find a google image of my child's favorite character, stick it in the cake with a toothpick taped to it and voila...happy child! Thanks to my sis, Margaret, for helping make the cake a little prettier with some icing on top. :)
Wade and Emily about to blow out their candles together
Thank you Hailey for
Purplicious and Littlest Pet Shop toys!
Just what she wanted...a cash register and the book, Anne of Green Gables.
Thanks Grandma and Papa Lang!
And of course, she was thrilled with Ramsi's surprise, a princess memory game.
Grandpa and Grandma Reed went in with us to give Emily a 6 month membership to Discover Gateway Children's Museum. She LOVES this gift! We've been going at least once a week to keep us active in the winter since it's so cold outside. It's a membership for 6 instead of just 4 so that we can invite friends or grandparents to join us each time. We missed Grandpa and Grandma Stoney who were out of town. They gave Emily some darling new clothes the week before. Thanks to everyone for celebrating this special day with us!
...and AFTER the haircut, all smiles with some of her best buddies, Allison and Avery
