Happy Birthday Emma!

On December 3rd, Emma turned 9. She continues to be the peacemaker in our home, an easy going girl, eager to please and to do what is right. Emma is hilarious and loves to laugh and make others laugh. Everything seems to come easy to Emma and if it doesn't she has the patience to keep at it until she gets it right. Emma is a leader and a good friend. She is very aware of people around her and so sensitive to others needs and feelings. In so many ways she is an example to our family and we are very blessed to have her.

Emma and her best friend Emma share a birthday and this was their year to not have a party but to instead do something just the two of them. They chose to go to a trampoline center and then to Goodwood for some ribs. It was a fun night. I love the friendship the Emmas share.

The day of Emma's birthday was the Homedale Christmas parade and the Emmas got to be in it. This normally would not be an event attended by the Kraupp family, but the kids really enjoyed it and we may just have to make it a tradition.

Emma's favorite birthday gift? A basketball hoop for the driveway! She can't wait for it to be installed.
