I said,"Happy birthday. Go back to sleep and we'll celebrate with breakfast at a reasonable hour." I know, I'm so mean.
An hour later I made breakfast for the birthday girl. I asked her if she felt any different. "Totally!" she said. "I'm a pre-teen now."
Wow! I feel so old! How did ten years just fly by like that???
For breakfast Dais requested scrambled eggs AND fried eggs. Weird, her daddy hates eggs but she loves them, except for boiled eggs. Apparently they smell like fart.
On Sunday night as Daisey was going to bed she said,"Mom, I’m wearing my pink shirt tomorrow. Will you make me a new bow to match it? And, make it special so everyone knows it’s my birthday?”
As you wish, my child.
Normally I don't give in to her demands but it was her birthday, so I caved and made her a birthday headband, perfect for the little diva that she is!
I think she likes it! For a full headband tutorial go here.
She was bouncing off the wall with excitement and couldn't wait to open her presents. As you can see there are three presents, one from Maggie, one from Isaac, and one from Mom and Dad. Maggie and Isaac spent a good hour picking out just the perfect present.
Maggie picked out the perfect Ken doll. There were quite a few to pick from but she thought Daisey would really love his bow tie.
I love that the pre-teen still loves Barbies. I'll be sad when she decides that she's too old for them.
I love this picture! When they're fighting I'm going to remember this moment. Maggie and Isaac were truly happy for Daisey and they were so excited to give her the birthday presents they picked out.
Isaac gave her a Rubik's cube, just what every 10 year old girl needs.
They've enjoyed "testing out" her new toys for her.
A tiny box inside the big box? Whatever could it be?
Daisey has been wanting an iPod for a long time. She's had a MP3 player, but she wanted to upgrade. We got her an iPod Shuffle.
Isn't it cute and small?
For lunch she requested that Robert go eat lunch with her at school,
and that he bring McDonald's. Cute, huh?
Daisey came home from school and told me all about her wonderful
day of birthday wishes and the new feeling of being 10 years old.
For dinner Daisey wanted to go somewhere fancy where they served you fancy food. That place was Village Inn. Fancy, huh?
Grandma Marilyn, Grandma Diane and Grandpa Kent went
to dinner with us. Thank you all for coming, by the way.
It made Daisey feel really special.
On Friday Daisey had a birthday party with her friends
at the Fun Park. She wanted to have a Minnie Mouse party
AND a bowling party, so we combined the 2 ideas.
Look at that smile! She could barely contain her excitement!
Bowling with 10 little girls. They were a riot!
They're dancing! And screaming! And laughing! Oh my!
I was really proud of Daisey for inviting her sister.
Maggie was in heaven being a part of the party!
Isaac didn't want anything to do with this girly party!
He hung out with his cousins, Andrew, James and Daniel
while we were at the bowling alley.
Wooo!
STRIKE!!!
The winner got the coveted bowling hat! Daisey found it here
and I tried my hand at crocheting one.
Aren't they cute? Robert and I got a kick out of watching these
girls laugh and play and talk about boys together!
Daisey was very involved in the invitations and party favors and other details of this party. It had to be perfect!
Wanna know what's inside those cute little bags?
The girls were very excited!
Daisey was not very excited about her cake. She wanted a
Minnie Mouse cake but the bowling alley didn't
allow any outside food. It's too bad because there are a lot of
cute Minnie ideas out there.
Daisey improvised and made her own cake decoration.
Can you believe she drew this?
Happy Birthday Dear Daisey, Happy Birthday to you!
She wished for a puppy. Good luck babe.
Maybe, someday when we don't rent our house.
I LOVE Maggie's face in this pic!
Yay, presents!
She got a lot of "older gifts" like lotion and jewelry.
And, some "little girl gifts", as well.
Again, I'm happy that she still likes Barbies.
I'm fine with her staying young for just a little while longer.
The party was a success! Everyone had a great time,
especially the 10 year old! Driving home with 6 little giggly girls,
suddenly made our 3 kids seem pretty quiet in comparison!
We're thrilled that Daisey is growing up and we're so proud of the young lady she's becoming.
She doesn't want me to embarrass her by writing her a birthday letter on the blog, so I'll just say Happy Birthday Daisey! We love you!

You sure know how to throw a great party, awesome mama!! Seriously - will you plan every gathering that I have for the rest of my life? Miss Daisey looks like she had one of her best birthdays ever!!
Heck yeah! Let's throw a party! :)Isn't she getting BIG???
You are the best mama ever! You could just see her beaming in all of those pictures. I love everything you did for the party. Your kids are so cute. That was such a good idea to have the other two get her gifts as well. Happy Birthday Daisey! :)
Aww, thanks Shirley! You're so sweet! Having the kids buy each other presents helps with jealousy issues. Sometimes...
You sure have been busy! I love all your theme ideas. I love when they have a particular idea and you can run with it. I love your jumbo grocery bag too...I think I'm going to try one:) I have a million bags sitting in my laundry room!! Daisey is too cute, and definately looks like she is ready to be a decade:) I am glad Tina's not too old for barbies or dolls either, lol
What a cute party! You are a darling mom! I can't believe how big Daisey is getting! Slow down time!
