| Emerson's 8th Spa Birthday party!! Girls showing off their freshly painted nails :) |
Emerson turned 8 on the 16th! Emerson gets VERY excited for her birthday :) She talks about it and counts down for months prior and then the days leading up to her birthday, she is literally vibrating with excitement!!! She was up before 7 am on her birthday, ready to open her gift and get her day started!!! We baked mini heart-shaped cakes for her class, which she loved helping with. Her birthday was a Thursday, which is a 1/2 day of school so after school we met Cal, my parents and Mason for lunch at BP's where she had her favorite food - boneless wings!! After lunch the kids and I met some friends from school at the theatre. We saw the new LEGO Batman movie, which we all loved! Then it was home for some relax time before Cal and Blake headed off to hockey practice and Reese and I took Em to her dance performance at St. Michael's seniors home. And we were all excited to get there because my parents had picked up my Grandma Marg from the airport that afternoon and they were meeting us at the seniors home! Emerson was so excited that her Great Grandma would be seeing her dance :) She had a great performance followed by ice cream at DQ after wards!! A great day for a special little 8 yo :)
We hosted a birthday party for Em on the 18th. She wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do, we thought we might go to Beaner's for a spa party but she also wanted to have friends over so I suggested a spa party at home and she thought that was the best idea!! Although I find it easier to have birthday party elsewhere, they love having friends over and I am grateful for that! We had 8 little girls giggling, playing, singing, dancing, smiling girls in our house!! My friend Christa and I gave them manicures and helped them put colored hair chalk in their hair, while they applied their own makeup!! It was a great party, everyone had so much fun and everything went off without a hitch :) Best of all Emerson was happy as can be and had a blast!!
Happy 8th Birthday to our little spunky one who never does anything 1/2 way!! Emerson, you may be small but everything you do, you do BIG with your heart of gold on your sleeve. You make us better parents and continue to teach us lessons everyday. We love you to the moon and back (& back again)!! We can't wait to see what year #8 brings you!! xoxoxo Mom & Dad
