I'm very sad to report that our beloved Bubbles passed away earlier this week. If you are familiar with my Emily and her extremely tender heart, you can imagine how very sad she was. We placed Bubbles in a fancy box with his greenery and decided the only thing to do was have a proper funeral. Proper meaning; invite pals, say prayers, blow bubbles (fitting tribute) and of course, eat cake.
She made sure he was feeling the love - he had a very decked out resting place
Her prayer: "Dear God, thank you for Bubbles. He was a good pet. Let him be taken good care of in your hands. Let him be safe and happy and joyful. We love Bubbles so please take good care of him as we all did."
Bubbles for Bubbles!
Nothing turns around a sad occasion like store bought, over died, sugary confections...
Her pals were very sweet and supportive - she has a real group of BFF's in this hood. They all showed up with bereavement cards for her!
In case you're wondering, we didn't send Bubs down the "tube" or bury him. Daddy took him to the ocean to rest in peace. I don't think she could have handled the former!
I think a dog is a long way off for us.
NOW...life marches right along and last night was a big night for my gals. Emily was chosen to light the Advent Wreath in the school Christmas Musical!!
As soon as we found out we called upon our private dress designer to the princesses. As usual, Emma whipped up the perfect dress (headband, neckless and shoes) for the big show.
Part of the reason Emily was chosen was because she has a superstar big sister. Olivia was her "private Elf" for the night. Responsible for getting her in her dress backstage, getting her to her spot on cue, changing her into her outfit for the 2nd grade performance and then back into her dress for the Nativity scene at the end. Whew! Where does one get a private Elf?
All dressed
We were sitting in the back of the church so we got to snap a few shots while she was waiting for her cue.
Notice the beautiful crosses on the ribbon!
Perhaps too many photos :)
Had this picture existed a week ago it would have been on your Christmas cards but alas...it didn't.
There she goes.
Lighting the wreath.
All done! She looked like a little angel. So glad Emma was here to watch - it was a very special night.
The theme of the show was Christmas in America if you are wondering about the large USA balloons and stars. Very cute show and very appropriate for December 7th.
