Emily's 10th Birthday





Emily turned 10 on October 2, 2010.  We had a family party and Mike made Emily a Harry Potter cake.  It turned out really awesome and Emily loved it.


 Mike and I surprised her with a trip to see Il Volo in Seattle.  Mike had a business trip so Emily and I tagged along.  She was so cute when we woke her up that morning and told her we were taking her on a trip. 
 Mike had bought her a beautiful dress and backstage passes to see her favorite group, Il Volo.  They are an Italian singing group and if you haven't heard their music, look them up!  They are amazing.  Emily's favorite guy is the one with the suspenders in the picture.  His name is Gianluca, he gave her a kiss on her cheek.  Needless to say, she was pretty happy! 





We did a lot of fun things the few days we were in Seattle.  We got special permission to tour the Brown and Haley plant since Mike supplies their boxes.  It was amazing to see how Almond Roca and all sorts of other yummy toffee is made.  We also found a ton of agates on the beach and saw so many beautiful things.  Most of all it was really neat to spend so much time just with Emily.  She is such an amazing kid and I am so lucky to be her mom.
