A birthday girl!
I have a NINETEEN YEAR OLD!
So...Kyleigh has always been a super duper big fan of all things Harry Potter. She's recently re-read the entire series. At the Salt Lake Comicon last weekend, she got her picture taken with Tom Felton aka Draco Malfoy.
So needless to say HP has been on the brain. She mentioned awhile back that she'd like a Harry Potter inspired b-day...mainly to get the Bertie Bott Beans... {she loves jelly beans}
Emmsie and I got our creative juices flow'in, but kept it a secret.
Kyleigh had NO IDEA the surprise Emmsie and I had up our sleeves. :)
On the afternoon of her birthday we were trying to get her out of the house so we could do our "thing." I had Kyleigh, and Hannah {who was on distraction duty if necessary} take Brie to her swim lesson for me. That gave Emmsie and I about an hour to get things ready... We were work'in like crazy ladies. We had done what little prep we could before hand. As in filling candy jars in my bedroom so Kyleigh wouldn't see them... and hiding out in the office cutting party label printables {which btw are from the talented people HERE and HERE}.
Emma had baked the cake the night before, when Ky was out, and then had to hide it. Once Kyleigh left the premises the day of, Emma still had to frost and decorate the cake and I was whipping out my Halloween stuff in the garage and trying to pull together what you see below. haha. It was crazy fun! I'm thinking under pressure that Emmsie and I make a pretty good team!
The top of the wand she made it to look like a crystal ball...
The whole thing reduced Kyleigh to tears...it just made her really happy.
Emmsie rarely gives hugs or verbally expresses love. But boy, she sure knows the art of gift giving. That is definitely her love language.
Emma assures me that there is meaning behind the misspelled b-day cake. Haha.
I am not up on all things Harry Potter.
The treacle fudge are chocolate covered potato chips... ;)
The potions...{I just used the Halloween bottles that I already had and put a HP label on them.}
The chocolate wands were chocolate licorice...
Kyleigh had a pretty darn good day. She took the day off of work. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
She and I watched a few episodes of our new favorite show on Netflix. Called the GRAND HOTEL. Early 1900 Spanish Drama/Mystery. WE ARE HOOKED! It's in Spanish, but has English subtitles. OH GOSH, IT'S SUPER GOOD. Highly recommend it if you are into period dramas.
After her Harry Potter surprise we went for sushi for her birthday dinner...
Having muscle shooters! Raw quail eggs and all. {Tasty}
Not so sure. But went for it.
The night before the Comicon they had a girl overnight-er downtown at the Little America. Christmas gift to all from Sav! How fun is that?
So back to this Comicon. {We were dy'in over this pic.} This is Paul. Paul Wesley.
AS IN STEFAN SALVATORE FROM THE VAMPIRE DIARIES!
We totally gave up on that show over a year ago, but gosh! It's still a Salvatore brother. {Our dang fish is named after them} Unfortunately, he was either not feeling well, or injured so he was sitting...so yah, awkward pic. Kyleigh would have much rather have had her arm around him and not the chair. Just say'in. ;)
Some Star Wars love
and Harry Potter!
Playing catch up with my pics...
A little movie outing with Kate and cousin Taylor.
One of mine and Kate's favorite things...Bubber!
Brie had a play date with four of her school friends. They wanted to see her room re-do. {Which I need to post pics of that. Hopefully I'll get around to that soon.}
Brie, Kate and Taylor have had so much fun with this new...I don't even know what it's called...bum scooter? that their aunt gave them.
It's been Spring like weather of late. A little baseball on a lovely Saturday afternoon.
Snapshot of Hannie and Emmsie tending the neighbor kids.... :)
Look'in forward to Valentine's week and another darling daughter's b-day.
