Emma turned 8 last week! We didn’t have a party this year thanks to covid, but I think she is aging out of the “big group party” phase anyway. She was totally unphased, and had laid out a detailed plan for her day:
Charlotte stayed home from daycare (at both her request and Emma’s), and though Jose and I had a few work meetings during the middle of the day, we ended up doing almost everything on the birthday list!
Around 3:00, Emma came up to me and said “Mom, I almost forgot it was my birthday because it feels like a normal day.” She seemed a bit sad at the moment. That’s when I said “oh really? Well does THIS feel like a normal day?” and whipped out a surprise pinata. Total win.
What a fun day. Emma continues to grow and learn and be the very best 8-year-old I know.
I love her daily schedule. “See what’s different” 🙂 This looks like a pretty fun day for any age!
“See what’s different” was in reference to the presents that would surely be waiting for her when she came downstairs!! Ha.
THAT LIST. 😍 omg I love it. And yay with that piñata at just the right moment!!
i am pretty into that cake. make me one for my 42nd?
8, where did the time go?!
I am flattered by the thought that I made that cake when it was entirely HEB. 😉
That list is adorable! Happy birthday to Emma.
