Emma is 11




 We celebrated this beautiful girl! I’m so proud of this one. She had an amazing school year. She is just getting so big and mature. Emma would do everything she needed for school and organize all of her activities without being asked. She has babysat a few times and it’s so fun watching her grow up and turn into this smart, wonderful teen! 

For her birthday she got her BFF cousin Penny to have a sleepover! This doesn’t happen and was a very special occasion where everything just aligned for her big day! The girls had the best day and I loved watching them. We started off the day with going to get pedis and manis. They of course got matching colors. After we went shopping. They got matching things plus fun things to do. We went and got birthday drinks then home for lunch. They were so excited that we were the only ones home so they had no boys. They got face masks from the store so they had some spa time as they refreshed their youthful glows. That night we went ice skating at the knights practice rink. It was the kids first time, but a blast! It was also super nice hanging out in a cold place and getting out of the Vegas heat.  

A couple weeks before we added a kitten to the mix. We had bad luck in our old neighborhood so this change of scenery with him will be great! His name is Boots, after Puss in Boots from Shrek. The kids are so excited and want Ghost to be donkey for Halloween. This cat is so fun and loves to cuddle and just purrs and purrs. We sure love him. My sister’s in laws had a litter of kittens and were so kind. We were able to go visit them a few times before we took Boots home. 

On Monday we swam and had her birthday dinner at my parents house. She wanted to go night swimming with the fun lights. Emma had braces last year on her birthday and during Christmas when I made caramel. So instead of a cake or cupcakes she asked for her own pan of homemade caramel. I made a big one for everyone and then she got her own heart shaped pan. It is my great grandmas recipe and so yummy! 

Happy birthday sweet girl! I love you Emma.
