Alexis' birthday party!

Emma's cousin Alexis turns 4 this December 21st. Aunt Christie and Uncle Cort wanted to have her birthday party a bit early this year, since the holidays are always so busy! We are in Chicago this weekend for Alexis' party and to visit with a bunch of relatives on the O'Shea side.

Here's Emma with Grandma and Grandpa, and also her cousins Dave and Alexis:


Just the grandkids (and also Grandma's arm):

And, finally, Alexis' cake. She helped to make it!
