The major news of this week was that we celebrated Carrigan's birthday. She turned the big 1-0 and I can't believe that I now have two kids in the double digits.
Her birthday landed on a school day and, after some discussion, she decided she wanted to go. Since we still wanted to make sure we had time for a big birthday breakfast, we were up early to celebrate with cinnamon rolls. She even managed to open a few presents before we headed off for school.
After school, we had planned to stay and play on the playground, but mother nature had different plans. Instead, we headed home and, while we waited for everyone to finish school and work, she was more than happy to start making the most of the presents she had already opened. She tested out her new paint markers and she and Elsie played a game with her new tennis racquet.
That evening we had a family dinner of her choosing, homemade soft pretzels, sausages, and cheese sauce and prepared for the extended family to arrive for dessert. She again got to call the shots and she requested mint brownies and mint chip ice cream.
After dessert, we finished opening presents. She got a fashion design book and new volleyball and knee pads and now she's all set for volleyball in the fall. She also got a cool 3D pen from Grandpa and Lollie, a girls day from Aunt Emily, and a special sleepover and party day with Nana and Papa.
This girls is SO loved. We are so blessed and grateful to have her as part of our family. This past decade has been amazing and we can't wait to see what the next one has instore for our sweet C.C. girl.
