Hard to believe that she is TEN! We have been celebrating her birthday for a week now, as she got her "big" present when we were in Chicago, her new American Girl doll, Elizabeth. She of course wore the birthday crown to school. We stopped on our way and bought three dozen Krispy Kreme donuts to hand out to her classmates. She only had a partial day on her birthday, but it was the FIRST time in her school career that she was able to celebrate her birthday on her birthday as it has always fallen during spring break week! AND we all know how important that is to a school aged kid!
So not only did she get to go to school, she only had to go for 3 hours! She got to come home early to beautiful weather and play all afternoon! Plus she did not have to do any of her daily or weekly chores, which was a big hit with her! Actually Kate never complains about her chores, she just does them as quickly as possible without any distractions so she can get it over with (sounds like me ;-).
When I got home from my conferences, Kate was super excited! We finished decorating the kitchen, which she did mostly herself. She picked out a cookie cake and chocolate ice cream. She is most definitely our chocolate kid!
Everyone was at the house by 6. We ordered pizza and wings (she loves bbq and can eat a dozen by herself!) from St. Louis Pizza and Wings. She got lots of presents. One of her favorite being a soccer uniform for her American Girl doll and jammies for her other doll. She is going to see a concert with her Bushia on Saturday and she got lots of other nice gifts, gift cards and cash :-).
The kids had a dance party in the basement! The day was a huge success.
