Yesterday At Patriot Place

 

Yesterday, the youth group took to the ice at Patriot Place for some end of February break skating! It was a small but mighty group, and an absolutely gorgeous day, and much fun was had by all! xo

Yesterday In The Snow

 

The hens are not fans of "the scary, white stuff" but they do seem to love a good taboggan ride! xo

Scenes From Emma's Birthday

Emma's birthday began with breakfast, followed by the birthday ring (and birthday wishes) and gifts! 

Later that morning we went to Old Sturbridge Village for Grace's costume fitting and then met up with my parents for lunch and more celebrating. And sadly, I took not one picture at either stop. It was then home for some quiet time before Alex joined us for an evening of pizza, s'mores, cake and Book of Boba Fett watching. Alex and the girls have been friends since Nature School and all three are now at Parker together! 
And she absolutely blew all fourteen of these candles out at once! Whatever she wished for is bound to come true! It was such a perfect day to celebrate our sweet youngest daughter and when I asked her which part of her birthday she loved the best she couldn't decide! Happy Birthday, Emma Faith! You are an absolute joy and we are so grateful to be your family! xo

Today was a perfectly Emma day. We celebrated with a yummy breakfast, gifts and the birthday ring this morning, along with a call from Grandma Joan wishing her a very happy birthday.. After that it was off to Old Sturbridge Village for Grace's costume fitting and then   lunch with  my parents and more celebrating. We then headed home for a bit of quiet time before being joined by Emma's friend Alex for pizza, cake and movies. Pictures will come tomorrow for tonight we are tired after such a fun filled day. Happy birthday, sweet Emma Faith! May this next trip around the sun be as delightful as you are! We love you to the moon and stars and back! xo

Emma's Birthday Eve

 


When I have said my evening prayer, 
And my clothes are folded on the chair, 
And mama has turned out the light, 
I'll still be thirteen years old tonight. 

But from the very break of day, 
Before the children rise and play, 
Before the sunlight turns to gold, 
Tomorrow I'll be fourteen years old. 
Fourteen candles on my cake. 
Fourteen kisses when I wake! 

-Traditional Waldorf Birthday Verse 


Can't wait to celebrate fourteen years of Miss Emma Faith tomorrow! xo

In Which Emma Makes Valentines

 


I meant to share these pictures a week ago but somehow life got in the way, It wouldn't be Valentine's Day if valentines weren't made. And it wouldn't be Valentine's Day without valentines with googily eyes made by Emma! Happy Valentine's Eve! xo
