Ten Things I Love About Emma:

1. She is so helpful. She will do whatever is asked. Usually without a second thought. She is especially great with Anne and Sawyer.

2. She wants to go places, see things, be involved. Emma is definitely not a homebody like her mother.

3. She loves people and thrives on interacting with them.

4. She is a great violinist and all-around musician.

5. She is a great model and as you can see is rather photogenic. I love taking her picture.

6. She has a strong testimony and deep love of the Gospel. She always wants to get up and share her testimony. I think she also genuinely loves Primary and learning more. She always tries to remember the assignments that her teachers give her.

7. She loves food and is willing to eat just about anything we give her. Her few dislikes include nuts and onions.

8. She is full of life. Enthusiastic. Energetic. Vivacious.

9. She is interested in so many things. She wants to cook, to sew, to draw, to play soccer, to watch movies, to talk with people, to sing, to dance, to laugh, to keep learning.

10. She has a lot of confidence. She seems to know and like who she is. She is willing to just be herself and is not overly concerned with what anyone thinks of her.

Of course, there are so many more things I love about her. I'm so glad she started me on this grand adventure called motherhood. Happy Birthday, Emma!
