It’s a tradition in our family that when you turn 10, you get flowers. I guess technically it’s not a real tradition, since til last month, I was the only one who ever had this done….LOL! I decided to do it for Catherine though, and so did my mom.

We were on our way out to the movies on her birthday when the delivery van pulled up, with flowers from Mormor:





And here is Catherine later that evening with her flowers and teddy bear from Mommy & Daddy:




And cake! It wouldn’t be a birthday without cake!



Tonight is her *friend* birthday slumber party. Our guest list keeps getting smaller and smaller each year, by my choice! The first year, we invited 5 girls and it was chaos. Last year we had 3 girls I think…and one was just a pain in the ass. This year – 2 girls. Ha! We’re having pizza here (the girls are due to arrive at 5), and the man is off so we’re ALL going to the ice skating rink and then coming back here for cake and movies. Wish me luck!

Happy birthday to Catherine! The guest list for parties due tend to get smaller as they get older, and I like it a lot better that way myself. I hope you all had a good time!

Hope you had fun with the sleepover! Did you get any sleep?

I actually did – this was the best sleepover by far! The kids were all asleep by midnight and I woke up at 9am – only because Jim woke me up. The kids were so quiet – I didn’t hear a peep out of them!
