“Stay close to and be loving to your children and innocent grandchildren. Bask in their light. Do what you can to make grace happen for them. It’s not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that matters.”
Happy Birthday to Emmy, the cutest little angel who brings love, light, and joy into our lives and is worthy of another celebration.
After all, in my view, if Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth can have two birthday parties several weeks apart so too can our little Princess Emmy.
So when our daughter Michelle and Kyle invited some family and friends who weren’t able to celebrate Emmy’s first birthday the end of February, we were all in. They decided to have a Middle Eastern Luncheon delivered by Dish-dash.
Aside from our daughter Michelle, husband Kyle, daughters Lyla and Emmy; Cecile and I, and our son Jason; Kyle and his brother Chip's mom Kim and Al, their dad Ed and Gerry; Michelle and Kyle’s close friends and neighbors, Kayvon and his wife Behnaz; Kyle and Chip's friend Vince Grosso and his four-month year old Graham were part of the festivities.
Thanks to Kim and Al, Emmy got her first American Girl doll; Lyla was enjoying being pushed on the swing, playing ball, and being read stories to. Emmy was very engaged, scooting around in her cute little white flower-fringed tutu, we enjoyed watching both girls open up their presents. Yes, even Lyla received some gifts, so she didn’t feel left out. The food was awesome, the company was wonderful, and all the grandma’s and grandpa's got to spend special time with our granddaughter’s, Lyla and Emmy. My heart melted when Lyla came up to me and asked: “Papa can you play with me? ”What could be better than that?
