Emily is 10!

Emily had a funfilled birthday in June. She was so excited to get breakfast in bed.

 We met friends at the park and brought cupcakes she had made.

 Surprise! Everyone was surprised when we cut into the cake. She really wanted to make this rainbow cake and insisted on decorating it herself. She did a great job! She also insisted on using a cake mix and store bought frosting because she didn't like the recipe I tried that is supposed to go with this cake. It was a yummy cake, but in my opinion store bought frosting just doesn't decorate as well.

 New bedding! It was time for their room to look more like a tween girl room. Angela got an early present as her birthday is in August.

 And a new bike! It's her first bike with gears and she is doing great on it. We have gone on some longer rides than we'd done before and it's fun that it's easier for her to keep up.
