My Emily opened a 10th Birthday Savenger Hunt Extravaganza.
My Emily was sent all over the yard and house for a 1/2 an hour and then opened a note that said to ask mom for her GPS so the hunt could finally begin and she was so excited she started jumping up and down!
My Emily tries very hard to figure mom's GPS out with help from Dad. Mom's GPS is really cool, but a bit complicated.
My Emily opened her very own GPS so she won't have to complain about Dad taking Mom's away from her when we go geocaching. My Emily is very interested in hiking and finding treasure so this is the perfect gift for my big 10 year old.
My Emily chose to eat Valentine's Chicken on the birthday plate for her birthday dinner and she blew a candle out in the chicken since we hadn't made cake yet.
My sweet Emily wanted to help make her birthday cake(s). We made chocolate lava cakes. Let me tell you right now they were AWESOME!!! So awesome, I forgot to take a picture. No really, we made about 17 individual little cakes and with Lucille's help, we just got them each out and on plates with ice cream for everyone and I forgot to take a picture of all the yumminess!!! I'll include the recipe later if you like...
My Emily wanted to go swimming for her birthday party! That's also one of her favorite things. So we went to the W aquatic center at our local college.
My Emily also wanted to go on a treasure hunt for her party! It really was a Birthday Extravaganza!! So Al "placed" a geocache for the party full of beaded necklaces and they went geocaching with Emily's new GPS and mine. We walked and searched in one of Al's aunt's yards... It was fun!
My Emily blows out 10 candles on her Lava Birthday Cake!! Have I mentioned that I can't believe she is 10? Double digits?? I have? Oh sorry.
It doesn't seem that long ago that I held my baby girl for the first time and brought her home and tried to figure everything out. I've got a few things going right, but I'm still trying to figure out the rest as we go along! I hope she doesn't mind that I'm just winging it...She's about perfect, so we must be doing something right!!
My Emily.

Thank you so much for sharing Emily's birthday. She truly is a beautiful girl! She's also very clever to get as much out of her special day as she could! What an extravaganza! Glad the lava cakes turned out well. ;)
