Mother/Daughter Banquet

Emma and I took Grandma Van Manen to the Mother/Daughter Banquet at our church. I surprised Mom by dressing Emma in one of the dresses that I wore as a little girl. I didn't realize that Mom had hemmed it up about 2 inches, so it was a little short. Still adorable though. I'm going to have Emma's one-year-pictures taken with the dress on (after Mom redoes the hem and I get the chocolate stain out from the chocolate chip cookie). And don't scold me for not having those taken yet! It was a great evening with my mom and daughter.

I obviously wasn't getting Emma's food cut up fast enough. She reached over and went for the cookie. A girl after her momma's own heart.

During the speaker, Emma was walking all around. This is when she walked to the back to see Noel and Julie Johnson's granddaughters (Malia in the pink and Hannah in blue). It's hard to tell in this picture, but Emma was laughing REALLY hard.

This was as good of a group shot as we were going to get since Emma was TIRED.
