Before I get to a big Christmas blog, I wanted to share pictures from Emalai's 9th birthday, December 27!  She is a joy and we had a great day celebrating her!
  | 
| Emalai wanted breakfast in bed for her birthday so her daddy made her breakfast on the couch since Makai was still sleeping in her room. | 
  | 
| Emalai loves Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts! | 
  | 
| Emalai has wanted a music stand for months so we surprised her with one for her birthday! | 
  | 
| Emalai wanted egg salad and chapatis (Ugandan tortillas) for her birthday meal.  Just like in Uganda!  Thanks Grace for making chapatis! | 
  | 
| We went to Chuckie Cheese's with cousins and G&G.  Oh memories! | 
  | 
| We love you!!! |

And Emalai wanted snow for her birthday and God gave it to her!   What a birthday present from her Heavenly Father! |
