Weekending
Friday night was the dance team dress rehersal. Costumes were steamed and ready to go. It was great to see everyone on stage! Looking forward to the first comeptition at the end of the month!
On Saturday, the girls were back at the mountain (but this time for their usually weekly role as ski instructors), Dave was working and that left me to dig in and do some work on my disseration. Here's to hoping that I can get it all done by the end of 2024!

Today's Morning Lesson
One of the many perks of being homeschoolers (again!) is that they get to do cool stuff like be extras in an upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie!
POV: Everyone is out filming the movie and you get the lodge to yourself.
What a day they had! Call time got changed to 7:30am, which was a lovely treat, and we were at the moutnain until just about 2:00pm, The grls had the best time and really enjoyed getting to see what goes into making a movie. We are super curiious what the footage will look like in the film as there really is not that much snow out there (thanks Climate Change 😓) but we have no doubt that movie magic will be in full effect! They both plated the fole of skiers, either on their way to or from the mountain, In addition to that some scenes were filmed on the chair lift or with them skiing down. This was defintiely a day (and a morning lesson) they will never forget! xo

Here We Go Again!
A newly minted sixteen year old + a drivers permit = first time behind the week in the local high school parking lot!
And honestly, she did a great job (I had a feeling she would)! Much like when she potty trained herself I am pretty sure that she'll basically teach herself to drive too! xo

Scenes From Emma's Birthday
Generally, sister gifts are first.
And this time was no exception!
Nothing like a silly birthday message/inside joke from one sister to the other!
I love that I was able to capture this moment!
Grace gave her some make-up supplies as well as a gorgeous band for her Apple Watch (which I realized when I was putting this post together I did not take a picture of yet).
In which David presents Emma with the gift his parents sent.
A much wished for riding jacket!
Time for her gift from mama and daddy.
Just like when Grace turned sixteen, we gifted Emma with a necklace of what the sky looked like when she was born. We also purchased her sun, moon and rising sign natal chart and reading as well.
Ready for her birthday gathering!
Celestial Moon Wreath kits purchased from The Mossy Apothocary.
The girls get started.
Hard at work.
The girls did such a fabulous job creating their wreaths! Each one was as beautiful and unique as they are! Such a perfect way to celebrate Emma's sweet sixteen! After this they headed out for Starbucks and shopping in Hudson, then came back and watched a movie before Emma had to head to her riding lesson and Mandy and Lucy had to head home. It was a truly perfect day, celebrating the newly minted sixteen year old! Hard to believe that she's sixteen already (and that we won't have any more sixteen year old birthday gatherings in our house again).
Emma Faith, you are an absolute delight of a human and it truly is an honor to be your mama. Getting to be part of your world from the moment you were in my belly and every day since has been the privledge of a liftetime. I have loved watching you grow into the amazing young woman that you are and cannot wait to see what awaits you this year. Wishing you a year as delightful, caring, joy-filled and passionate as you are! You complete our family so beautifully, and I am grateful you chose me to be your mama! Here's to another fabulous trip around the sun! I love you to the moon and back, forever and ever, sweet girl. XO, Mama
