This summer is a fun one for birthdays in our family. Amanda will be turing 13, so she will be a TEENAGER!!! Katrina will be turning 5 and starting Kindergarten, and today.................................Rebecca turned 10! Double digits!!! We actually had a day full of birthday parties. Miriam Flood turned 3, Anna Molloy turned 5, and then we celebrated Rebecca's birthday. We always let the kids decide what they want to do for dinner on their birthdays, and this year Rebecca decided that she wanted to go to the Old Spaghetti Factory.
We took all of Rebecca's presents, and she opened them while we waited for our food. She got a pink Zhu-Zhu Pet hamster, a Build-a-Bear gift certificateand a shirtfrom Mom and Dad, a craft bookfrom Amanda, sidewalk chalkfrom Katrina, a GAP Kids gift certificatefrom Gma Kathryn and Gpa Herb, and here is the reaction when I told everyone about the gift that Gramma and Papa are giving all of us this year:We all had a delicious dinner (ironically, Rebecca picked a grilled cheese sandwich) and then they brought Rebecca an ice cream and sang a not-exactly-enthusiastic version of Happy Birthday to her. I think they need to work on that! Take some lessons from the staff at Applebees or something like that.
This morning Rebecca wrote herself a few notes with sidewalk chalk in the street. One said 9 + B-day = 10, and the other said Happy Happy Birthday to ME!!Happy Happy Birthday Rebecca!!

Doesn't the time go by fast? You will blink and they will be grown up. I have 4 teenagers at the moment, and my oldest is starting her senior year of high school. What? Craziness.
Your girls are so cute. It looks like you had loads of fun.
