Happy Birthday to Emma K!

What fun we had Saturday at EK's party! I pray that each girl enjoyed it very much. Emma had spent a lot of time preparing and planning, doing her own invitations, picking out goody bag items, chosing her outfit, prepping the craft materials, mixing the frosting and helping ice the cake, doing all the streamers and decorations for the house and lots of other details. She started out as soon as the girls arrived by giving them their "goody bags" since they each had a necklace a ring they could wear with their princess outfit if they wanted as well as each had her own diary. They signed each other's diaries (you know, Princess Diaries!), then proceeded to decorate their own crown and scepter (Michael's had a great thing here - $1 for each precut adjustable foam crown ready to decorate with jewels and sequins and glitter glue and stickers and $1 each for a foam scepter also ready to decorate.) After the crafts were finished each girl took her turn on the "runaway" (aka our stairs!) and we cranked up the music for them.
The castle cake was a great success and with pink punch, ice cream and chips they all definitely enjoyed the food as well as the fun and fellowship. After opening gifts they enjoyed the outdoors jumping on the trampoline and riding the zipline (yes, even in princess outfits!). Later the friends went home , the family (Gran and cousins, etc.) arrived and we had pizza, cake (a different one we call the "Creech Classic" aka Chocolate Syrup cake) and had more fun times together. Happy Birthday Emma - may this be a special one that you always remember!
