Happy birthday to my baby girl! Seems like she's been celebrating this birthday for a while now since we started early when Grammie was here, but today is finally the day.
She woke to breakfast of her choice and then opened some presents.

Mean old mom made her still do some school work, but don't worry, she also had time to play. Stevie was off today so we were all able to go out to lunch at Emmy's choice - Moctezuma's, a Mexican restaurant.
After school, Emmy got to have her first horse back riding lesson. She's been begging for a lesson for a while so was thrilled to finally get a chance. A friend of ours has a horse that she lets Emmy ride and use for lessons. Emmy did great on her first lesson and was quite natural, albeit a little reluctant to go faster than a walk. But I was proud of her when she finally did trot Jazz. What a great way to spend your 8th birthday!

We ended the day with her favorite meal, lasagna, and a special Toothless (the dragon from "How to Train Your Dragon") cake made by mom.
