When Greg was out of town a lot in February, and we had a temporary subscription to Netflix we watched a lot of The Great British Bakeoff. On one episode the bakers were asked to make a classic British caterpillar birthday cake. We'd never seen anything like it but Emmy fell in love with it and was determined to make it for her birthday. She made the meringues all on her own on Saturday and Tuesday after school she and I labored over this cake until the cousins showed up for her early birthday party.
She was very pleased with herself and in spite of some major errors it turned out pretty well.
She got lots of clothes, some make up, a fight toy, fingernail clippers and her favorite kind of candy bar.
Here she is on her actual birthday wearing a new outfit and eating her birthday bear claw.
Her birthday, like Kate's, was on Wednesday this year. We were going roller skating. Sherry Mills was awesome and showed up with a birthday hat and sash which Emily wore the whole night and even got a birthday shout out over the speaker. It was a fun night.
On the way home Sherry even stopped by Dutch Bros so Emmy could get her birthday drink. Love my crazy red head.
