Princess Sparkley Turns 10!

PS really wanted this baby to be born on her birthday.  B was hoping the ultra sound was wrong and we could give PS a baby sister on her birthday.  There is only about an hour and a half left in the day, so it doesn't look like that is going to happen. 

When I went in to wake he up this morning I told her happy birthday and she told me that Buddy, his blanket and stuffed animal dolphin, Splash, had already been in to sing to her.

For some reason, our kids think you get to open birthday presents almost first thing in the morning.  Like it's Christmas or something.  I get it... they don't want to wait, but it makes the day sort of boring for me because there isn't as much to look forward to.

Here's PS opening her presents:

She got some earrings, a Snoopy shirt, magazine subscriptions,

a book she wanted (on the Kindle), a Lego Friends set, her ears pierced, sandals, etc.

She also got to watch a movie of her choice (Ella Enchanted) and we went to Barnes and Noble to get her free cafe dessert.  We also went to Petsmart (her choice) and picked up a Red Velvet cake (her choice again) for her at the grocery store.  I got a couple of good recipes from friends, but was never sure if I'd be in a position to bake a cake today.  It turns out I could have, but B kept telling me not to stress over it and just buy one.  So we did.  She also chose Alfredo noodles for dinner.  Then cake...mmm.
