Emmi's 14

(this post is past due)
Emmi's birthday falls on July 3rd. She gets fireworks for her birthday. Also, my parents have started a tradition with Emmi (and Oskar) - one that I had when I was growing up - reaching into the money bag!
The rules are: NO scooping. NO holding the bag with your other hand. You can reach in once, decide if you want to keep what's there (no counting) or put in back, see if you can do better, but you have to keep the next reach.
That's the gift from Nana and Papa.

She ended up putting back her first reach and kept the second. She really liked what she ended up with. What a great tradition!
