The 7th Celebration Continues

Emma's birthday extended into the weekend. Since Chris was in Spain on her birthday, we waited to give Emma her big present until Saturday.  Who would want to miss out on this reaction?!?!

 I must admit that one area that I have slacked as a parent is teaching my kids how to ride a bike. We didn't have the best bike riding neighborhood in Washington (HILLS!) and when your mom accidentally backs the Saturn over your bike with training wheels (sorry Emma), it's no wonder you are 7 and haven't learned this important life skill!

We packed up the new bike and headed to Carney Park, a perfect place to practice riding!




 Last night we invited some friends over for a Fiesta!  
Here's Emma opening one of her gifts (YES-Polly Pockets!)
 Thanks Miss Staci! :)
 Jess and Emma are ready to get this Fiesta started!
 This fiesta also had a princess/pirate theme :)
Here are Chris's masterpieces:


 Emma has choreographed the "cha-cha-cha" part of the Happy Birthday Song

We are lucky to have such wonderful friends who helped us celebrate our favorite little girl!
