Mars has hit the double digits. We were supposed to spend her birthday at the beach, but they had an onset of jellyfish lice. Then we were supposed to go to Hershey Park, but it was supposed to be the hottest day of the week. Where did we end up? Ikea. She loves playing in all the small furnished spaces and eating there, even though she never eats the food. We went to Mass in the morning, then Ikea, and then went to Nana and Papa's for her birthday celebration. She requested a Chick-Fil-A nugget platter for her dinner. We were supposed to get her a desk and chair from Ikea, but she started arguing over whether she would let Logan use it. Since it would be in their room, we decided that a joint desk gift for both her and Logan would be the way to go instead. She did end up receiving almost everything she asked for. The things she didn't get, she's buying with the money she got instead. For the record, she wanted a thousand squishes and stuffed animals, which is why she didn't get everything she wanted. Our house is only so big.
She also had her first real birthday party. Three of her friends came over for a day of fun. They talked through watched The Greatest Showman, had pizza and went swimming. Afterwards, they opened gifts and had cake. They all had a great time. Her friends were excited because two of them had never been to our house since we live so far away from everyone else. It was a great time by all. Roll cam!
Starting the morning off with the birthday streamers.
Birthday party fun. Thanks to Logan for taking one for the team and swimming with all those girls!
Her friend got her one of these craft pillow where you poke the fabric into the hole and it stays there. It's hard to explain, but her friend got her a cupcake, and Nana and Papa got her a unicorn.
Nana and Papa got her a unicorn cake. These are her new outfits down to the boots from them too. Daddy decided to bomb one of the pictures.
At Grandma and Gecko's she requested a yellow cake, chocolate icing (just like her daddy, and sprinkles. Grandma got her gymnastics lessons and leotards. She's already started classes and is doing really well! She also received some squishies, trinkets, and unicorns. All in all, I think she had a fabulous time turning ten. Welcome to the double digits, Mars!
