Emma, there are not too many things you don't like. In fact, we say all the time how you love life. You are the best little girl anyone could ask for. The other day we took you to Dr. Schaffer's for your 2 year check-up and he was so impressed with your language, personality, and attention. He remarked how you were just perfect, and the best little 2 year-old. Mommy and Daddy couldn't agree more!! Everyone who meets you, love you. You are wonderful!! We love you and can't wait for next year!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
