Today is Emily's 23rd birthday. I don't know if it's just me but since she is the baby in our family, I still think of her as 11 or 12 years old. She used to call me "Natalie Mama" and I loved taking care of her. 
We celebrated her birthday on Sunday. She requested plain cheesecake with a little raspberry drizzle for her birthday cake. (If you want the recipe to the cheesecake, visit www.kitchentokitchen.blogspot.com )I forgot to hang up the birthday banner and we didn't have her blow out the candles. Sorry, Em. 
We now live just a short distance away from each other so the boys have really gotten to know her a lot better. I asked each of my boys what they loved about their Aunt Emily and these are their responses:
Cam~ I like everything about her...except that she likes cheesecake. I don't like the name or the way it tastes. I only like chocolate cake. I love when Emily lets me go to her house and play games on her Game Cube.
Gavin~ Well I like her 'cuz she's so nice to us. And I like her 'cuz she brought us those rice crispy treats!
Owen~I like Emily. And Jeff. I like Emily to come over. I need Emily to come over, RIGHT NOW!
We hope you have a great year, Emily. We love you.
