Emilee 8th Birthday...

Emilee's birthday started with a birthday breakfast of doughnuts and juice. She headed out the door for school with doughnuts in hand to share with her class. We have started a birthday tradition of being picked up from school and going to lunch with mom or dad. Seriously, you shouldn't have to eat PB&J on your birthday. So, at lunch we head over to Subway for a kids pack.
After school I finished working on her birthday cake. I thought I would try something new, a black forrest cake. It sounded easy enough. Well, things didn't go as planned and it ended in Emilee in tears and me feeling like the worst mom for messing up the cake. So, we ran over to Albertsons and bought a new cake.Her dinner choice was YC's. This is a family favorite and is on deck for Garrit's birthday.

Here is cake number 2, a lot prettier then mine, however, mine tasted way better.
I bought candles that were sparklers, they freaked out Emilee. She is always worried about safety.We started singing happy birthday, and Emilee started singing to herself. Its just natural to start singing, she is the 4th birthday in April.And of course, she loved opening her gifts. Its hard to believe that my peanut is 8 already.
