Cadence's best friend Emily & I have been planning the most epic surprise ever for over 7 months! When we first moved to Germany last summer, Emily's mom contacted me & told me Emily had saved up enough money to fly to Germany to spend a week with us. We found a weekend that worked with school schedules & booked the tickets. For 7 long months we kept silent about it.
On Valentine's Day, I put the kids on the bus for school then drove straight to the Frankfurt airport to pick Emily up. I drove her back to our area & took her to lunch at a fun little German restaurant where she ate schnitzel, bratkartoffeln, brotchen, & pretzels.
After that we went German grocery shopping where she got a lesson on German recycling,
Got Euros to spend during the week she'd be staying with us,
recyled all our plastic bottles,
and bought a feast in the candy & chocolate aisles.
She even got to fill up our milk bottles at the fresh milk station.
But the best part of the entire day, was when the kids FINALLY arrived home from school! Emily snuck out the back door as the kids were coming inside, then ran around the house & rang our doorbell. Cadence answered the door & SURPRISE!!!
For dinner that night, we took Emily to our favorite Turkish place & got pizza, Döner, & kroketten.
