MOTHER/DAUGHTER ACTIVITY!

Emma is so lucky to have some fantastic leaders for her activity days/achievement days/Merry Miss (depending on if you are old school or not). Last week they planned a Mother/Daughter "T" party. "T" for terrific, Temple, Testimony. Stephanie and I decided to be terrific moms and make a night out of it for our girls.We started out with dinner to El Rico's.
Then it was off to the church for our activity. Stephanie and I were originally asked to bare our testimonies - which made me kind of nervous but then we were told they actually wanted our daughters - which made me quite happy. Right before it was time for Emma to go, she looked at me and said she was really nervous. I said, "Em, you dance in front of hundreds of people, there are only a few people here." She said, "ya but that's dancing, this is talking." She did a great job though and even got a little teary eyed and cut herself off before the tears came!

They emailed all the parents and asked us to write a letter why our daughters are so terrific. (Emma, because I love you so much, I am going to admit on here that your letter glued to the back of the frame you made holding the Temple picture will get thrown in the garbage once you go back to school and forget about it. You know how I hate junk/clutter. You did a great job on it though, I promise. I will take a picture of it so you can always remember it and here is a copy of the letter we wrote you so you know that even though we threw it away, we really do love you!

Emma is terrific for so many reasons. Emma is a sensitive girl who genuinely cares for others. She is an amazing big sister that always looks out for her brothers. She puts her best effort in her school work and it pays off with the excellent grades she gets. We love her sweet spirit and how hard she tries to please the Lord and to make good choices. She is a great example to all those around her. We are happy to see her up on stage and get to see how much she has improved and how much she loves performing. She works very hard at dance and it shows when she is up there lighting up the stage. Our family would not be complete without Emma in our lives. We love her dearly and couldn't be more proud to be her parents!)We had punch and cupcakes there and then took our pretty selves out to Swirl It afterwards.I had such a great time with Emma. It seems like we spend a lot of alone time together but its really just in the car going to and from dance so this was such a fun evening. I love me some Emma time!
