How is it possible
that my baby girl
is TEN?!?!We had a LOVELY family day.
Breakfast in bed.
"Doubles" basket.
Beautiful weather.
Playing with Scout outside.
Wii and Webkinz.
"Hotel for Dogs" movie.
Thoughtful Presents.
All-you-can-eat sushi.
Calls from grandparents.
Cookie dough "cake."
I'm so excited that I came up with this clever idea:
A "doubles basket" to celebrate DOUBLE DIGITS!
See the picture above--everything is either "double" or "two" . . .
Double-Stuffed Oreos,
Double Fudge Ice Cream
Double Bubble,
Twix,
Doublemint,
2-Pack of Pens,
Double Dutch,
2-Piece PJ set,
Double Daring Book for Girls,
Double Fudge,
2-Pack of Playing Cards,
and more!
Here are Thing 1 and Thing 2 getting ready to open presents.
One would think we stage these pictures.One would be mistaken.
We are SO grateful that these two are best friends.
Thing 2 got his sister some new Yu-Gi-Oh cards
and was bursting at the seams to see her reaction.
They are so sweet!
Grandma made this BEAUTIFUL (and SOFT!) cozy quilt.Thing 1 loves it and has been snuggling with it
practically nonstop (including bedtime!).
The blanket is SO very her.

And a Baby Penguin Webkinz from Mommy and Daddy.
Happy Birthday, Thing 1!!We LOVE you!
Happy birthday Thing 1! I'm so jealous of the Little House DVDs. SOOOO jealous!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! That is crazy! She is too cute. What a fun idea with the double digits. Don't be upset when you see a repeat at Ada's tenth! Ha.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday cute girl! Looks like a good one with all your loot. Loving the doubles basket. We have a double coming up next week. What all did you put in it?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Kate! Wow ten is so grown up! Looks like she had a fun day. I love how Vivian's blanket turned out- so snuggly :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great birthday! I'm still stuffed from all the sushi!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Cookie dough cake sounds so good right now.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Between your thing's birthday and our pickle's birthday, we should have a combined party. Not like I've ever needed an excuse for a party before . . .
ReplyDeleteI love the double digits basket idea. You have always had super clever ideas for birthdays. Her smile from ear to ear in each pictures tells me she had a great day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Thing 1! You are amazing. You deserve the best. I'm so glad you were born into such an amazing family. Your parents are awesome.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so grown up in that last picture. I love your double basket idea, like LOOOVE that idea. So clever. I love that blanket too. What a fun birthday!
ReplyDeleteI hope she had a great birthday! What fun ideas!!! :)
ReplyDeleteTime flies, doesn't it! Happy Birthday, K. I love the doubles basket idea. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! You guys are so creative! And I know I'm pretty late, but, Happy Birthday Kate!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I had a great time! And I loved that we found a cheap all-you-can-eat sushi place! YUM!
ReplyDeleteShe's 10!!!!! Crazy. Looks like a special day. The doubles basket is genius. You should copyright the idea because I think that most of us are going to steal it from you. You could be rich off it! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, all. I'd be flattered to see you all copy the idea!
