Spring-break cabin fever!

 So a trip to the arcade was in order! 

Emma turned 12!!!

The theme of this year's party was horses, and the color scheme was lavender. I was happy to see that all of my daughter's friends this year were able to attend. However, only one of them stayed until the end. The same friend who stayed overnight and we dropped off that evening.  

The candle that burnt the cake! 

Spring Break Fever!

Today, I decided to switch things up. Instead of the usual car turnaround for pick-up, I parked my car to soak up the contagious excitement in the air. It was such a sunny day, and all the kids were out running around on the playground. Once Emma spotted me, she ran and asked for a piggyback ride back to her friends. She loves directing me like a horse and I was happy to play along. Her friends and teacher were fun to chat with so we stayed for quite a while. On the way home, she talked me into sharing a snack at McDonalds. 

 

Beautiful!

She actually took a selfie with me! 

Emma had a wonderful day of pampering! Her Grandma and Bop-Bop treated her to a professional haircut, giving her the exact style she wanted for her upcoming big day. It's bittersweet to see her grow up so fast. She's turning 12 soon...it's also going to be a fun age (insert eye roll)!

Cupid was late

Due to Maddy and Sam being severely ill this February, our annual Cupid hunt at Wenzel Mountain had to wait till March! It was worth the wait, as Ga-Ga and Grandpa spoiled us with an amazing dinner and lots of sweet treats! 

Just before the hunt...

See's candy at the end of the hunt!
