I find it hard to believe that my girls are ten years old. I feel like it was just yesterday that I brought them home from the hospital.
This year we did their friends party early so we'd have a greater likelihood of school friends attending. Unfortunately I wasn't as organized as I thought and got the invites out late, so only a few school friends wound up attending. Honestly, it was fine. We still had a dozen kids.
Also, we had to change our traditional Friday night family dinner to their actual birthday (today) because they have an overnight at camp on Friday night (it's a Jewish camp and they have a Shabbat program planned).
They have gotten some great gifts from friends and family. The Hubs' parents took them, along with their cousin, to see The Wizard of Oz onstage in April. They loved that.
From their parties, (friends and tonight's dinner) They got gift cards for iTunes, Old Navy, Indigo, toys r us, and Yogourty's, cash, and clothes. They also got The Great And Powerful Oz and Les Miserables on blu-ray. They were jumping for joy with those and can't wait to watch them.
For dinner, we had Caesar salad, steak with sauce and fried mushrooms, asparagus, kale chips and roasted potatoes. And of course, birthday cake.
Because it was their champagne birthday, we also celebrated with - champagne. We let the girls have a little champagne in the flutes we got for our wedding. The rest of us got plastic.
So now, it's time to see what the double digits have in store for us.
Happy Birthday, my beautiful girls!!
