Emi is 18

George Williamson and Emi -- Shared birthday

Yes, she's 18!!!!

We just had a party weekend. A few weeks ago, my friend Alicia Williamson and I were chatting about our kids and realized they had their birthdays one day apart. George was born on the 16th and Emi on the 17th, and the idea for a joint birthday party was born. Our neighbors across the street offered to do a combined party at their house. They have a great party house, complete with a pool room, a karaoke room, a large deck with a fire pit and a beautiful backyard. The house was full of teens all evening long and we kept them fed while they entertained themselves.

The following day was Emi's official birthday. It's also St. Patrick's day so we started off the day with green eggs and ham. I actually made better ones than these but this is the one that posed for a picture.

 We also got to visit with my sister Lina and her husband last weekend. Crazy things happen when we're all together.
