More birthday stuff

We had more birthday fun today. Mariana and Gloria attended the princess birthday party of a friend. Here they are all ready to go...



And Allia had her birthday celebration at Martha's Bloomers (local nursery with tea room). I have been telling her for years that when she turned 10, we would go with a few of her friends. It is hard to believe that time has already come. We even convinced her Godmommy (not pictured) to come along!

Such sweet friends

They had lovely conversations and surprised the waitress with their enjoyment of the tea (she served them strawberry lemonade instead, but they requested the tea also).

They kindly allowed us to bring in our own dessert since Allia cannot have dairy. So she blew out her candles after a quiet birthday song.

She received some great gifts...books, a pretty purse, an Aggie shirt, and a giftcard from her Godmommy that she really enjoyed spending on their plants and other garden items.

Helen and I enjoyed our quiet meal, being served, and musing over 10 year old girl conversations. It was a lovely time! We even made it home just in time to watch the Aggies play football. :)

This is so sweet! What a great day for Allia. Happy 10th! Can't believe our kids are hitting double digits.
