Celebrating Fourteen


We aren't much for birthdays around here, but with things so "off" with the pandemic, we decided that we would try to arrange a drive by birthday party for Emily's birthday to surprise her.  In order to pull it off, I asked everyone to come by the day before her birthday, so she would have no idea.  We were sitting outside, lingering after dinner, when her four closest friends and their families caravanned by the house.  She was completely taken by surprise, it was so great!  After grabbing one of Elizabeth's famous cupcakes, the girls ended up kicking the soccer ball around in the backyard while the parents had a cocktail in the front yard.  This was probably her most successful birthday yet!



Swanny's gift included lights.... 

A new hydro flask from Grammy! 


A KitKat and M&M cake made by Elizabeth - it was soooo rich, but soooo good! 
On Emily's actual birthday, she had a scheduled track out workout with her soccer crew. Her favorite distance is 200m, so I had them do 200 repeats - 14, one for each year. 
They were lucky enough to have the chance to swim briefly after the workout.
