Birthday Pictures

Good Morning! I hope you all had a great weekend. We had a fun time celebrating Emily's 9th birthday.


At our house the birthday girl or boy gets to pick out a special box of cereal for breakfast. Grace decorated Emily's chair with red streamers.


One of Emily's favorite gifts was a Koala Webkinz.


She also loved her new Polly Pockets.


Phillip came home for lunch and we had a brownie cake and ice cream for dessert. Then Emily and I got to spend the whole afternoon and evening together. Phillip and Benjamin had a Boy Scout day camp all week and Grace joined them on the last day. Emily and I went to the movie store and stopped for pizza on the way home. We watched Milo and Otis and then Emily went swimming in our small wading pool.


Saturday evening we went to Nana and Papa's house for a cookout.


My friend Heather recently shared a recipe for Refreshing Peach Fizzy, which is perfect for the summer.


I couldn't find white grape and peach frozen juice, so I just used plain white grape. It was very good!


Opening more gifts.


And enjoying *another* cake! Thank you for taking a look at Emily's birthday pictures!
