Double Digits!

Happy Birthday to our Bella girl! On Saturday, November 5th, our oldest child turned the big 10!!! It really is unbelievable that she is this old. Where does the time go? She has turned into a amazing young lady who is smart, responsible, caring, sensitive, beautiful, sweet, and a joy to be around! She is a wonderful example to her 2 younger sisters. We are so proud of her and all that she has become.
We were talking about her big day weeks before it arrived...she was SO excited. She couldn't sleep the night before and woke up at 4:00 a.m. in anticipation of her special day. Luckily she fell back to sleep around 5:30 for a couple more hours :) Her birthday breakfast request - Einstein's Bagels. She had a long list of things she'd love to do on her day... She wanted to make the birthday cake. It turned out great! Her girlfriend party was lots of fun - Sherman Kendall Hair Academy for up do's, makeup, and nails painted. Bella has a great group of friends. They are all just so sweet and respectful. The gals at the salon commented that this was the quietest group of kids they had ever worked on. I caught a few smiles of excitement as they were getting their little make-over's. After her party, Bella wanted birthday dinner as a family. We tried out the new Brick Oven. After dinner, she wanted to go spend her gift cards at Target and Justice. What a busy, full, fun day she had!





If you look closely at Bella's ear you'll notice the big white burn mark :( So sad!!! Poor timid Bella jumped and said ouch but held in the tears. It's still sore today, a few days later. I felt SO bad for her.





Bella, what a special person you are! We love you so much and are so grateful you are a part of our family!
