Celebration

Kendall has a friend here in Jax who she knew from church before we moved away.  Since we've been back, they haven't been able to play because sweet little Emily has Leukemia.  Em got diagnosed about the same time that we moved back.  Due to her treatments and lack of a healthy immune system, we haven't been able to have a play date.  We've taken meals to their family and things to help keep Em busy during her long hospital stays.  Kendall has been diligent about praying for her little friend Emily.  It's the sweetest thing I've heard.  She prays for Em ALL the time - at school, at night, at meals, in the car, etc.

Emily just finished up her treatments and has started the maintenance phase.  She also just turned 5. Emily's family decided to have a birthday party to celebrate turning 5 and that she's finally able to play with her friends and return to some of her activities.  She had her party at Build A Bear.  Kendall was thrilled to celebrate with Emily and all her friends.  

Catching a quick picture with Emily!  I want to put this pic in her room so she can see it while she prays for Em.

K built a dog (surprised?) named Buttercup and dressed it up in some glam clothes!  She asked me to spend the rest of an old gift card on some high heeled shoes to go with it!
