Alice's 11th Birthday!

Today, Alice turned 11 years old!  I am still trying to wrap my head around it.

I do feel like I personally got lucky this year (yep, I said it) because Alice is home with me, and in Texas 5th grade is a part of elementary school, so I don't have to consider her a middle schooler*!

We took a few pictures last night, as her final night as a 10 year old!

And then new pictures this morning, as a brand new 11 year old!  She picked ice cream for breakfast, so that's what everyone got.

Opening up gifts before 'school.'  From us she got a cat hoodie, roblox gift cards, and Billy installed Sim 4 + cats and dogs on her computer. = )  She liked her cards from Avia and Emily, and prized her squishy cat from Avia all morning.

My amazing Alice, I'm so happy that we get to celebrate with you!  I hope that this year is your best one yet! = )  You are smart, and funny and weird and such a joy to be around.

*Of course, Emily, William, Grace and Juliet are thoughts for another day.

Alice's 10th Birthday Party

After using some of the coupons from the summer reading program at Zap Zone this summer, Alice decided to have her birthday there.  Since she is a summer baby, her invitations this year were literally just text messages to her classmates that I had phone numbers for. = 0

We took two cars, so that Billy could pickup her cake while we set up and met all the guests.  Not that there was much set up, they take care of just about everything.

Once all of the guests arrived, and everyone said hello again after a long summer apart...

… we headed over to the bounce area.  They didn't even wait for the trampolines, they were so excited to jump!

Then it was back to the room for pizza and cake!

For her second attraction, she picked the virtual reality station.  They had to go in groups of 3 or fewer.  She picked Willow and Osage for her group.

While waiting for their turns, the other party goers spent some time out in the arcade.

Emily, Abby and Juliet were next in the VR area.

Big Em and Grace were next.

And then William and Aubrey rounded out the party as the final group.

Since back to school was on the brain, Alice's parting treats were school supplies. = )

Almost everyone gave her Robux, and she was thrilled.

Her final night as a nine year old:

Celebrating our new 10 year old!

We love our Alice, and she is turning into such an awesome person!

Alice's 9th Birthday Party

On Saturday, people came together to celebrate Alice's 9th birthday!!!!!

It was such a laid back event, we rented a bounce house and snow cone machine, had a store made cake, and Billy grilled up some hot dogs.

Alice was delighted to see all of her friends, and I enjoyed chatting with my friends and the other parents.  In fact, I was having such a good time, I didn't take a single picture!

Thankfully, my mom took all of these:

Alice loved her giant Minecraft pillow!

Grace thought the kitty was toooo cute!

This blue squishy guy was another favorite, she even brought him to the baseball game today!

And her pants made me so sad.  We bought them just for her party, and the knees wore off before the end of the day! = (

She loved seeing all of her friends, and has been on cloud nine all day.  Thank you to everyone who came out or sent well wishes!
