Em's 11th Birthday

Since I am behind....
Ems 11th birthday was May 1.....

We have 2 GPS units so we wrapped one and handed it to her. When she opened it she had to follow it and tell us where to go to find her "present" which turned out to be the 2nd GPS unit that when she unwrapped she had to read it and tell us where to go for her Present....





When she found it she was really excited to get an Ipod Nano and we had to hurry home and add Miley Cyrus to it!!
Carter got her a CD from one of his book orders at school, too.



She helped me decorate her birthday cake butterfly...
We "rolled" homemade ice cream at the party where we were camping for the night because she wanted to.
We played with sparklers and did fireworks...(shhhhhh don't tell)
But the highlight, what she really wanted to do was play in the creek with her friends! They jumped in clothes and all and played and got muddy and cold and had a great time. Soo great that they cleaned up and went back!! 2 more times!!!!

Happy 11th birthday my sweet girl!!!
