At the beginning of the school year, the teachers encouraged healthy birthday snacks, but by the last week of school, they've pretty much thrown in the towel. I made chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with homemade frosting color to Emily's exact specifications. The two-toned frosting cupcake on the far right was for the birthday girl.
Instead of her usual weekday breakfast, I woke up early and made cinnamon buns - she was thrilled!
Birthday = no uniform (of course, it was Fly Up day, so no one had to wear a uniform that day).
Elizabeth brought her flute to school and serenaded Emily with Happy Birthday in front of her class.

I was the mystery reader in her class that day, something she has been begging me to do all year. In my defense, I was scheduled to do it two times, but both times, it got cancelled (field trip and snow day). She was very happy that I was not only the mystery reader, but in the classroom for her celebration.
The girls both had soccer practice - at which Emily provided both teams with birthday cookies - so we had a small celebration when they got home.
The girls desperately want an alarm clock and Emily loved this one from the Lego movie. She was so pumped when she opened it!
Books!
Frozen soundtrack from Elizabeth - she's actually singing "Let it Go" right here. It's been on repeat in the CD player since she opened it.
No one does bling like our Emily and when I saw these rings on Etsy, I knew she would love them.

No shortage of sweet treats for Emily on her special day. Glad she enjoyed her birthday.
