March started out like a lion for us. First, Emma had a patriotic program at Freemont High with the 1st-3rd graders from her school. They sang patriotic songs together and as individual grade levels. In between each song 2-3 kids per class got up to share a tidbit about the U.S. Presidents. Emma was chosen from her class to get up and say this line, "George W Bush headed the cheerleading team at his school." She was so excited to get a part and she did an awesome job at the program. She spoke in a nice, clear voice and didn't act nervous at all. We were so proud of her! (We were too far away to take pictures, so we just videotaped the 1st grade portion.) The most exciting thing from the program was that a girl from Emma's class fainted while waiting for their turn to sing and another 1st grade boy threw up on the stage. That was all the kids talked about for 3 days!
That same week was Emma's birthday. She got to be the helper at school and pick two prizes from the treasure box. We took Hannah Montana cupcakes to her class that afternoon (and dropped a bright pink frosted one on their carpet..oops!) After she got out of school, we went to pick up balloons for her party and then we ate at Chick-fil-a (her choice) for dinner. After that our families came over for cake and ice cream. Emma got a book light (since she tends to stay up reading with only a lamp on), Polly Pockets, a jewelry-making kit, clothes, books, movies, a blanket pet, a window art kit and as you can tell from the pictures....lots of horse stuff! I can't believe she's 7!
