The Golden Birthday

Today was Kauri's (Becca's) 10th birthday and her golden birthday. We decided to have a fun day doing activites and have a party later in the month. So the festivities started first thing this morning. I'm not quite sure who was more excited about her birthday, her or Kambrie. Last night I got all her presents wrapped and had them sitting on the table, along with some balloons. She wanted blueberry pancakes and started to open some of her presents. I thought it would be fun for her to have 10 presents from us. So I wrapped several small things so it wouldn't be to much. She got two pair of earrings, a mechanical pencil and highlighters (from Clairs), a skirt, crocheting hooks, yarn, crocheting how to books, a HSM bag, and a American Girl doll kit that you can make jewelry for them, learn how to do their hair and a scrapbook for them. She loved all her stuff. Kambrie and Kyson both gave her a new Littlest Petshop Pet and a Webkinz clothes.

Both girls really wanted to go to an activity called Honk, Screech, Scratch, Boom. This is where they can try out a lot of different instruments so they can decide what, if any, instrument they want to play when they are in middle school. This activity will have a separate post with pictures.

After that, Kauri went to spend some time with Aunt Pat. Pat had some presents for her, but due to surgery on her foot, wasn't able to leave her house to join our fun. She had a great time spending some one on one time with Pat. She is so great with the girls and spoils them rotten.

After some time at home, we headed out for dinner at Red Lobster. Not because she loves fish or any sea food for that matter, but their mac'n cheese. Kaden, however loves the fact that she likes to go there because that is his favorite place to eat because of the crab legs. Everyone had a great time and ate lots of yummy food.

After returning home, we then had cake (a giant cookie from Sam's) and ice cream and called it a day. It was a wonderful day celebrating a wonderful girl's birthday. I just can't believe that she is 10.
