FINALLY! Happy Birthday Emily!


Can't see the video?  Click here.

My dear eldest daughter, Emily, turned 13 on Wednesday.  She has been bugging me every day since then to post her Birthday Video.  Well, it took me a little time to make it but it was finally ready yesterday.  Kind of.  I could not figure out what music to use.  Earlier in the week she sent me a text with the music she wanted in her video (she is not demanding or anything).  But it just didn't fit with the video, in my opinion.  So I tried to find some other music I knew she would like. I found some, I put them in the above video.  And it was just ok.  So then I tried it again with her music and, frankly, her music is more exciting than mine.  So I have been trying to decide for the last 24 hours, between the two.  All the while being pestered to post the dang video.  So I finally said WHAT THE HECK!  She has been "patiently" waiting for 4 days- she deserves 2 videos!  The above is the video with the songs I chose.  The video below is the one with her songs.  As I was on itunes purchasing the songs she wanted, I must admit, there was a part of me that wondered if she selected those particular songs so I would have to purchase them.  Although I'm sure she would never do that...

On Wednesday I brought her requested lunch to her at school - a foot long meatball sub from Subway.  After school we went to Get Air with some of her friends.  Then we went to my mom's house for dinner, Chinese, per her request and a special cake my mom made her.  Then she went to a Young Women activity at church.  Followed up by viewing the latest episode of her favorite show, Psych, with her friend Anika.  So even without a video, I'm thinkin' it was a pretty decent day.  Here are some pictures:








Here is a video of the kids entertaining themselves after the party.

love you Em! and I really liked her song choice. Can't blame a girl for knowing exactly what she wants.
