The kids lucked out in the fact that school started super late for us this year. So everybody was off on Emmy's birthday (although Miles did have seminary in the morning and then an art class later that afternoon). Unfortunately, Ben wasn't off and actually had a long day - not coming home until closer to 7:30. We missed him, but managed to have a fun day for Emmy.
She's looking sooooo old! :)
Her siblings all chipped in to get her a watch - she loves it!
Emmy's big/main/real gift from us (mom and dad) was a new bike. She wanted one. It's awesome. So we rode our bikes from our home to this park that has a bike pump and little trails. It was great!
On our way home . . . Lucy's a little left-out with being the only one in our family without a Trek bike. :) Someday . . .
Emmy's chosen movie was Anne of Green Gables. I checked it out from the library. Unfortunately, it was a cruddy disc and didn't work well. So they started "Return to Me," one of my favorites that I had shown Emmy the trailer to a while back. They could only watch about half of it before Miles headed out to school. The rest of us enjoyed playing a new card game Emmy got: "Cover you A$$ets." The kids love it.
Funny thing . . . a group of my friends decided to all go in on renting the outdoor pool (just like on Lucy's birthday!). So we joined in and went to the pool from 5-7. Emmy is sporting her new adorable shirt that Jonas bought for her.
The pool was great - the weather was warm and sunny, but just a bit breezy. It was a fun evening!
We came back home and finished up the movie (Ben finally came home while we were finishing it up). We breaked for cake! It's not quite Pinterest-worthy (how do they make their cakes stand up so straight?!), but Emmy loved it. A sprinkle cake with . . .
polka-dots inside! Fun, fun.
Happy birthday to you, Emmy!

Happy birthday Emmy! Sounds like a great day. Bonus that school (for her) hadn't started yet.
I think they use dowels in the cakes. :)
