1) Her birthday was on the last day of school so I made cupcakes for everyone in her class and she got to have a little party at school. Thanks Mrs. Miller, Emma will miss you so much!
2) Then we went to dinner that night. My grandma watched Kate and Liza and we headed to Chuck-o-rama which is now the #1 favorite restaurant of all time according the Madison and Emma. They thought it was the bomb.
3) Then we came home and she opened her presents. She is sharing her Just Dance Wii game with all of us since we all love it as much as she does. I think I'll reserve a post just for some quality dance moves caught on camera. It's pretty entertaining to watch! We decided that she also deserves a new wheel for her bike since the other one got crushed by the van last year so now she has a bike to ride!
4) Emma got birthday treats X4! Talk about sugar overload. She had cupcakes with her class at school, then cake and ice cream at Chuck-o-rama, and then we decided she needed to blow out some candles since she hadn't done that yet. So there were some little Pink Lemonade donuts sitting here--we put some candles in those and sang Happy B-day. The next day she had a cake for her friends birthday party too. Too many treats! We'll try to keep that under control a little better in the future...
5) She has so many cute friends, and 11 of them came to her party. I think that is the biggest birthday party I've hosted to this point, and I decide to do that the year that I have 4 month twins. My poor mom was here with the babies and they were NOT nice for her. I dealt with 12 7-year-olds for 2 hours and she dealt with the babies--we were both equally tired I think. But we played lots of fun games and had a fun picnic lunch. By-the-way, Walmart has these "6 foot" sandwiches for $25. We ordered one, thinking of Subway sandwiches (my kids eat about three inches at Subway)....well the sandwich was actually 7 feet 7 inches and it was FAT! Way fatter than Subways. A 1" slice was plenty for the kids.....needless to say we ate that sandwich for every meal for a few days. But the kids thought it was pretty cool to have a sandwich that long!
Emma was spoiled by her friends with lots of really cute gifts. Thanks friends, she really loves you all!
We love you Emma! I'm glad you had such a great birthday, and I'm extra glad to have you in our family! Happy Birthday!
Kayla had a great time, thanks for inviting her! Every year, I wonder what I was thinking, throwing her a big party, and swear I'll never do it again, but luckily I get to have a year to recover and do it again! It's the longest few hours ever, but worth it!
