Emily's 7th Birthday!

Today we celebrated Emily's 7th Birthday at Girly Girl in Downtown McKinney. It was the perfect place to celebrate her big day... sooo cute!

First, the girls got to choose their fashionable outfits... most wanted to be Rock Star Divas but there were also a few Princesses! Then, they got to have their hair, make-up and nails done.

Megan got dressed up but wasn't too keen on the idea of primping... not so unusual for her.
They all got to strut their stuff on the cat walk and 'strike a pose'.
It was such a great group of little gals... oops, I mean Rock Stars and Princesses!
Time to blow out the candles and enjoy some yummy cake! We actually purchased the cake from The Cake Stand (also in downtown McKinney) and it just happened to match the decor perfectly!

We were having so much fun at the party that she had no time to open her gifts. We got to bring them home and continue the fun!

She received so many cute crafty gifts... which is right up her alley! One of the many favorites was a Trendy Tees Kit... all the supplies needed to decorate a t-shirt with metal studs and rhinestones... which she had to try out immediately!

It turned out really cute and she can't wait to wear it to school tomorrow!

Fort Worth Zoo

The girls and I, along with Aunt Sissy, took advantage of the day off from school and spent it at the zoo! It was perfect... perfect weather, perfect crowd, and all the animals were out basking in the sun so we could easily get a glimpse of them... even the cheetah, which is normally hiding in the cool shade of the bamboo!

The best part of the day, for both girls, was the train ride!

The kangaroo was one of every one's faves!

I believe this is the first time we've seen a male and female lion in the same living space... mating season perhaps? :) Making wishes...

Awwwe... look at the baby!

Feeding the parakeets.

How wide is my wing span?

Megan couldn't wait to see the giraffes... she talked about them all morning. We normally see them at the end of the day but today we changed up our pattern to hush her! :)
