Emma’s Birthday

Emma turned 7 yesterday. The B-I-G 7! For days she has been reminding me that her birthday was coming up, and not to forget to wrap her presents, and not to forget to make her a cake, and not to forget that she wanted breakfast burritos for breakfast (smart girl) . . .

Anyway, I’ve always felt bad that Emma’s birthday was so close to Christmas so we decided to throw this somewhat spur of the moment surprise party for her. Can you believe that 13  six and seven year olds were able to keep it a secret for a whole week?! Props to them.

I thought maybe we’d have 5 kids show up-I mean schools out, holiday travel, snowy night, etc. Nope! There were 11 girls there. Add our 3 to the mix and you can imagine all the shrieking and screaming that ensued for 2 hours. Jared and I could only look at each other in sheer disbelieve.

    Glad you all survived! Looked like fun though, and I’m sure Emma was stoked to have a party. Will you be my mom? ;)

    Cute! Look at all of that PINK! You really need some blue up in there. ;)

    Hey, having a birthday a week before Christmas when you’re a kid (and having a birthday party) means you don’t have to buy her as many presents for Christmas, right?

    Didn’t you have an Easy Bake Oven when you were a kid? I thought one of us did… That’s cool.

    Oh, and how come you never reply to all of our comments? :) Seriously…
