May 31 and Emersyn is TWELVE – next year she will be our teen! I made cake #4 yesterday. I am putting the mixer away until October (Jim’s birthday). After four cakes in May and baking every weekend in April for charity, I am done! For the first time, I sprinkled the cake with instructions for lots of sprinkles. I even licked the beaters – no little beater eaters around. Emersyn had her Drama Showcase last night, therefore, we did not come home from school until 9pm leaving no time to decorate a cake.

School day on this Thursday for the birthday girl, but no school tomorrow – some Chinese holiday for Children’s Day.

It is also Roxi’s birthday. Roxi is ONE today.

Michelle decorated Emersyn’s locker which made her feel special.

Emersyn shared the cake with her classmates. Since the class enjoy the charity cupcakes in April, the kids was excited to see my chocolate cake with chocolate frosting! Michelle was her helper to pass out cake.

Emersyn with her teacher, Ms Poppell.

Emersyn had Ms Poppell as a 1st grade – our first year at Concordia.

Emersyn has grown just “a bit” since the 1st grade!

The end of school year is busy with performances. Eleri had her music concert at 6:30 pm. Emersyn invited Michelle and Isabel to join her in a birthday dinner. We celebrated Emmy’s birthday dinner at Pistolera’s in Jinqiao before rushing off to school to hear Eleri sing! Michelle and Isabel came home with us for a sleepover.
