More Birthday Fun

March 29 was this sweet little girl's 11th  birthday!  How she got this old so fast is totally beyond me.   The day she was born is very vivid in my memory because she had kind of a sketchy start.  She had a tight cord around her neck and we weren't sure if she was going to be ok or not.  And now, here we are 11 years later.  Next year she is headed to middle school and I think I am going to freak out.  She is freaking out a bit too.  Emilia is a smart, funny, silly, artistic, responsible girl.  She loves art, drawing, writing stories, Mexican food, sausage and whipped cream.  She hates cooked vegetables, especially onions and doesn't care much for piano lessons.  (We think she's pretty darn cute too.)  We love her tons and are so glad that she is a part of our family.


What a cute kindergartner!



At our house we always have a little Happy Birthday candle in whatever we are eating to start off the day right.  On Emilia's birthday she got strawberries and whipped cream, cheesy eggs and sausage.

For her birthday dinner Emilia picked sour cream and cheddar potato chipos, taquitos and key lime pie, both from Our Best Bites.

Then we had a little fun with the canned whip cream.  We can't buy this stuff very often because it makes us crazy.

This year instead of a friend party, Emilia is picking 1 friend to go out to lunch with and do an activity.  We are waiting for a good weather weekend to do her activity but so far it has been cold and gross every weekend. We are hoping next weekend will be sunny so we can go and have some fun!  Happy Birthday to our wonderful girl!
