Cruise 2013

We enjoyed a FABULOUS vacation on the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas last week!  The girls had an amazing time and I think Emily truly enjoyed getting to spend her birthday on vacation!!  Here's some pics from the trip.

Waiting for the airplane:

-Emmy LOVED her Barbie Girls at Sea surprise! A whole week's worth of activities planned for her and other girls on the ship who love Barbie...so exciting!

Birthday morning breakfast- the cast sang to Emily!

Special chef-made treats at the Barbie Tea.

These babies LOVE some face paint!

Pirate Parade night... in the second photo Emily is holding hands with a boy.  Typical!

Face paint- again!

Water show! 

Barbie fashion show!

You guessed it...more face paint!

Emily is 5 Years 10 Months Old!

This month is FLYING by! I cannot believe we are getting so close to both girls' birthdays....someone slow everything down!!

- Emily began school this month.  I can't believe she is a kindergartener!!  She is so proud of herself and is doing very well- and we are proud of her too!

- She has spent almost every day of this summer swimming... check it out!

- She spent a lot of time with just me in the days leading up to school.  We played, shopped, had her first manicure/pedicure (she didn't love it...lesson learned!) We had lunches out, hung out with friends, and just enjoyed the time together.  The summer was over too quickly!

- Dance class has begun again- look at my pretty ballerina!

- We went to Disney on Ice and Emily had so much fun at the Pirate and Princess show.  We even went to a pirate themed birthday party and she loved getting to dress up. 

Lots more fun is coming up in the next few months- be sure to check back!
