Katie's 10th Birthday

Our oldest is now in double digits!  It really doesn't seem possible that she is already 10!  I look back at baby pictures and it seems like last year...definitely not 10!  I still stick to my saying, "the days last an eternity...but the years fly by in a flash!"
We asked Katie what she wanted to do for her birthday.  We continue to have our extended family come over for a few hours to celebrate, but we wanted her to celebrate in a special way with her friends.  She asked if we could go to one of our favorite pizza places, Spinners.  So, we loaded up Katie with 4 of her friends and headed out for pizza and ice cream.
 
All 5 girls had their American Girl dolls with them.  They had fun opening presents and laughing - lots and lots of laughing!  After eating, we came back to the house for a while so they could play for a while.  I think I heard something about an American Girl fashion show!

Katie still loves her American Girl dolls!  Most of her presents this year were for her doll!  She received a few outfits, a tea party set, a book set, Rapunzel & Flynn barbies, beads, necklace & a journal.
