February 19, 2013

Skylar recently had her TENTH birthday on February 8th, so I figured I would go back & try to recap what we did to celebrate this year.  Her actual birthday fell on a Friday, on a weekend that she was scheduled to be at her Dad's so we had her party a week early.


We decided this year to have the party at our house & let her have a sleepover.  She invited about 10 friends & about 6 of them showed up.  We also had both sides of our immediate family over as well.  We ordered pizza for dinner and of course had a few snacks.  For her cake, I made owl cupcakes that I had found on Pinterest, cut out heart shaped ice cream servings using a cookie cutter & also had nail polish bites.

The cupcakes were made with Oreo's & Reece's Piece's
Nail Polish Bites were made with marshmallows, tootsie rolls & icing.
 
She had a great party.  The girls were up until 4AM so I was pretty exhausted the following day to say the least!!  She got a lot of cute gifts, the hat from the picture above was from one of her friends.  She received another initial pillow from Justice, a book & jewelry box, some clothes & jewelry & quite a few gift cards.  I'd say she made out & appreciated it all.
 
The following Wednesday night, we gave her our gift because Creag was leaving on Thursday for a business trip & wouldn't be around on her actual birthday.  We got her a new purple laptop & she freaked when she saw it!!  Friday morning I sent her to school w/ cookies for her friends & after school she went to the school dance which was held by the PTA.  Pretty neat that that fell on her actual birthday & she was really excited.
 
I can't believe that she's 10 years old...a ten-ager as her teacher said!  Time sure does fly & before I know it, she'll actually be a TEENAGER!!
