1. Krispy Kreme donuts brought to her 1st grade class.
2. A pancake breakfast!
3. A webkinz.
4. (This was the most important one) Play "hot and cold" with the birthday presents.
5. NO ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. (EG doesn't like mixing ice cream and other desserts)
I think she had a good birthday because we met all of those requirements and added a little bit more.
We surprised her by having a few of her kindergarten friends(Anika, Sheridan, and Brooke...we missed having Courtney) over for a pancake breakfast before school. And then they all loaded up and went to school together. All of the girls were so excited to play together first thing in the morning before school that they hardly ate anything.
At school, Emma Grace was the coolest kid in the class with Krispy Kreme donuts to share. Donuts make instant friends!
Notice the polka dots! Emma Grace has talked about having a polka dot party forever. So we finally did it! Lots of dots! For dinner, Emma Grace chose sweet and sour chicken for us all to enjoy. Yum! Yum! After dinner, we sang happy birthday and enjoyed some simple cupcakes...ICE CREAM ON THE SIDE.
She was sure to make a wish before she blew out the candles!
And then finally presents...playing "hot and cold" of course.
Check out the present in the left corner with birthday monkeys dancing. It took a little while for Emma Grace's eyes to focus on the present because it blended in so well with my messy pantry!
For weeks now the girls have talked about playing hot and cold. The last thing Emma Grace said to me when she was leaving for school that morning was, "we have to play hot and cold". It makes getting those presents that much more exciting. So I hid the presents and Emma Grace tried to warm up before her little sister did. Eliza ended up being HOT on just one present before Emma Grace.
She got a webkinz! In fact, she got two...one from Dad and me and one from Megan and Holly. EG dreams of being a cowgirl one day. So Megan and Holly gave her a webkinz horse and a book called "Cinder Ellie"(about a cowgirl). I arranged for EG to ride horses soon. She's really excited about that! She got an accordian from Grammy and Grandad...that was a big hit! She got a boy Barbie and a wedding Barbie.
She loved all of her presents and said this was the best birthday ever!
