The Greatest Show on Earth, Barnum Bailey Circus

We have been wanting to take the kids to see the circus for years but it just hasn't worked out. This year RaRa & PePaw gave Emma Claire tickets for her birthday and it worked perfect that Poppa & GG were in town because they offered to stay home with Dawson. It was so fun to do this with our older two! I LOVED the circus as a child and Benjamin and I went to see this same circus group when we were dating. : )



They were beyond excited and we brought in little treats in my bag to save us from hearing the 'I want, I want' every time the toys came by. Saved us TONS!

The sweet family in the picture below were reunited with their husband/dad who had been serving in Afghanistan. It was such a sweet surprise moment with tears, claps and cheers! So thankful for these men and women and their families who dedicate their life to serve our country.





Can you tell she was LOVING the show? I just couldn't help but watch the joy on her face. It was infectious.





Camp was a little unsure of some of the things dropping down from the ceiling so he enjoyed some snuggle time with mommy and daddy to comfort him. : )





Look who lost her 7th tooth while we were celebrating her 7th birthday! That tooth was so loose she could twist it all the way around. I am really surprised she didn't swallow it!



The poodles were my fav!





The circus was Camp approved. ; 0








It was such a wonderful show! Thanks RaRa & PePaw for the treat and Poppa & GG for watching our little man so we could enjoy it! Maybe in a few years we can share this time with Dawson, too!

Emma Claire's 7th Birthday Party

Can't believe that my baby girl is already 7! HOW did this happen?

This year was even a bigger deal because she wanted to make sure that her party was not little girl like. She chose to do a cowgirl theme because it didn't seem babyish and a slumber party was for big girls! ; )





She worked really hard to make sure everything was just right!









Thanks, RaRa, for the cowgirl pjs to go with our theme!





Look who flew in for the party! (Poppa and GG also flew in for the party but went out for dinner)



Two of Emma Claire's biggest fans! Do you notice anything funny on the table? After the party had started and Camp realized everyone was bringing Emma Claire a gift he went upstairs and wrapped her a gift up in his blanket. He has the best heart!



Photo booth time! You know these girls LOVE to pose. ; 0





Emma Claire was adamant we played pin the tail on the horse. I didn't even know kids played that anymore! Either way. It was a hit!





A room full of girls calls for arts and crafts! Necklace making in process.



 I think they did pretty well on the game! I wonder if there was a hole in the mask? ; )







The girls were so sweet while opening gifts. They really talked about each one and how it was special.



Emma Claire's big gift from RaRa and PePaw were tickets to the circus! More pics from that to come!



You know my kids have to have a piñata! I'm not sure if its the fact they like to beat something up or that it's full of candy. ; 0











Happy Birthday, Emma Claire! You will never know how special you are to us!











A slumber party calls for a movie and the movie of choice was FROZEN, of course!



More arts and crafts!



Benjamin got run out of our room and I got a room full of girls!



They were really pretty easy to put to bed. I think it has something to do with they are all pretty amazing little girls. ; )



Don't you love how different they all sleep?!



The birthday girl ended up in my bed. ; )



For breakfast we had none other than pink chocolate chip waffles with powder sugar. It's become a tradition.



Girls=Check, PJ's=Check, Dance Party=Check!!!









Time for a Barbour shop and hair salon.  I love how they let Camp join in!



A couple pics from the fashion show...



We had the best time with these girls. Emma Claire had a great time and we loved celebrating her!

We LOVE YOU, sweet girl, and are so proud of the young lady you are becoming.

Beautiful inside, beautiful outside, a wonderful big sister, and a wonderful daughter.

Mommy LOVES You!!!
