Summer Week 7 - Emi's Spa Birthday Party

Thanks to the many who helped, we were able to pull this "high maintenance" party off: Jan, Mary, Kandace, Taylor & Keni! According to our cute, little guests, it was worth it.

Facials with photo shoot, pedicures, made homemade lipgloss and bracelets, finished off with eye kandy and smoothies. When waiting their turn, the girls would sip waters and look through preteen magazines. The girls were so much fun!

Summer Week 6 - Emi's Birthday

Second round of swimming lessons begin and so does the monotomy: a tiresome lack of variety. But at the end of the week it's Emi's 9th birthday!

As tradition goes, she woke up to a decked out room and hidden surprises. Looks like she found some of them.

We went to see Wall-e and out to dinner to celebrate - Her party is next week due to the need of planning time.

Sunday we got together with the family and had a yummy, gooey treat I found listed on one of my favorite foody blogs Picky Palate. Peanut Butter Caramel Popcorn Brownies

Emi's cousin Ali had her birthday this last week too.
