Emma is still the only girl in her primary class, so her birthday parties are low-key (i.e. jump on the trampoline). But what fun to have a big party like this. What a great mom you are! By the way, I noticed you commented on my friend's blog, Sarah Serene Smith (can't remember her married name, but the Smith's are Nathan's family's best friends in Florida.) How do you know Serene?
