Happy 9th Birthday Emily!!

Okay, so yesterday was Emily's 9th Birthday. She woke up to find "Happy Birthday" written on the bathroom mirror with red lipstick.:) I love for my kids to see something unusual first thing on their birthdays!

Emily had a busy day with school, then dance, and then we drove down to Flint to go to bd's Mongolian barbecue for dinner. I made "dirt" for Emily to take in for a snack at school and then we also took in cupcakes for dance class. Dance class got out just after 6:30 and I have to add that yesterday was one of the first times that Emily actually played games with her teammates between dances. For some odd reason, she is extremely shy around her dance team. One of the moms even commented to me that some of the girls said they actually got to hear Emily's voice for the first time! Weird, I know! Some days I wish she would be more like that at home.

After dance we boogied down to Flint to have dinner with Dennis, who was working in Detroit. We got there and got right in, as Dennis was waiting for us. We had a great meal and no sickness on the way home:) Thought about Mike though as we drove past his spot:) Emily was given a foil hat that was supposed to look like a cobra snake. She loved it and she also got a yummy desert for free. Another year, another birthday! Hard to believe that my baby is 9 years old already! Time sure does fly. Below are pictures from the dinner last night. Enjoy!

Julie, Jill, and Dawn,
Cute hat, huh! Hadn't seen that one before her birthday dinner! It looked better in person:)

Emily has no problem strutting her stuff, which might someday get her into trouble!!

And a BIG thanks to Mike with graciously providing us with a lifetime of jokes!! It will always be Mike's spot now!
