this precious girl is.....10! Yup, its a double digit birthday.
And she's something special...
As I am celebrating my middle child turning the big 10.
I am also celebrating because I have a hit the end of my birthday streaks!!
which means. October December January March April May I have birthdays in my house to plan.
dats a LOT.
but...
from May 28-Oct 15. nope.
ahhh....I made it.
{don't read that as I don't like a good party, all of it. BUT when you hit home stretch, and like I'd said about May....well. I'm glad they are behind me}
ON to the CRAFTing!
So I took the cute invite
[see last post]
and ran with the colors.
No "theme" because we did movie with few friends & out to dinner.
Colors rule at 10 anyway. Right?
cut cute little pennants for a flag/banner
sewn on to good ol string.
made a few flags of fun patterns & colors...just for the table at dinner. And the token "theme" element. Popcorn box for them!
sweet girl is honestly, easy to please. she loves everything!
and was happy-surprised at her table.
movie was great! Kung Fu Panda 2! then they walked while I drove to the other end of the mall to set the table. Some balloons, on either end.
she's a keeper. Love you Abbie-snail!
some fun straws...out with the white! in with the festive pink ribbon-y one!
friends, brothers, sisters=LOVE
little spot for her invite and it acted as a banner holder for the table.
between the flags..
her pals
they make dessert. done.
after all this wasn't her birthday day....
thinking of a wish....
I know all her wishes will come true. She's precious.
oh that Hollister smell. they love it :[
and then that wrapped up the party. Abbie gave her thank you's, a pair of purple sunglasses & panda bear necklace. ha! [thanks 4ever21!]
next came class celebration: low key teacher. just bring a snack.
chocolate chip cookies with sprinkles. still warm, YUMMM.
another wish...
first dibs to teachers...
ON her actual birthday we had morning routine of lessons & driving...
and then quick bite at chipotle.
THEN off to get her birthday present!
her very own bike.
she has been hoping for for a while!!!!
and just the right one..
LOVE IT.
when she got home, her sister had wrapped a present! And it was Huge & heavy!
well. with bricks inside!
and another bag
and a box
and a bag
and tissue.... was a charm bracelet her sweet sister made for her.
I love my kids.
THEN off to dinner.
Daddy cooked :)
and all her favorite things flew out of the kitchen....
and then came
the biggest warm chocolate chip cookie in a skillet with gobs of ice cream on top!
that's my girl!!
and a call from her BFF that was MIA for the festivities.
she was happy. celebrated. loved. and 10.
we love you to the moon & back.
