it was our back to school dinner, held the weekend before school starts, to celebrate miss emma starting kindergarten and mr. carson starting preschool :) i used what i had around the house, so it didn't cost me a thing, but emma thought it was simply amazing. the flowers on the table were for my sweet sister's birthday and were from my parents. i used some of our handwriting paper as place mats and used apples with toothpicks for our place cards. i dug up some alphabet letters, a few rulers, and grabbed a school bus from carson's car collection and i was done.
i let emma pick the menu, so it was burgers on the grill, oven fries, and she requested strawberry shortcake, so together we baked the pioneer woman's version...delish.
we invited our aunt lindy & uncle dill over to join us. it is so nice that they can just pop in for dinner :)
we sang, "happy birthday" to aunt lindy. her real birthday was the day before, and when it came time to blow out the candles, she ended up with plenty of help. we sent her home with the bouquet of flowers, alphabet flowers for her classroom, and a few love notes from miss emma. it was a fun night and i think we'll add this to our list of traditions :)
