Ten

Today Our Lindsay turned 10. This little girl brings so much joy into our lives. She is a constant reminder to me of sweetness and simplicity. She finds joy in the smallest of things.

Thank you Lindsay for being such an example to me. Your positive attitude and kind disposition radiate through your smile. Sometimes I worry about what you are "missing" as you daydream, but I am slowly learning that you have the gift to discover what we may be missing. Happy Birthday.

(Two years old)

For her birthday party, she wanted to plant snapdragons in the garden. We went to the nursery and she picked these out. She also picked out gloves for her friends.

She wanted a popcorn "cake". We made this yummy cake together. She was so cute. She sang the popcorn song from primary. This pic was taken the morning after, it was twice that big. We had her party on Friday after school.






After the girls planted, we made hot fudge sundaes in waffle cups, danced and sang, got a little giggly, and played outside until the sun set . . .


On her birthday night, we met Mimi, Papa, Jonny, and cousins for dinner at Soup Plantation. It was great to get together. The kids were trying to organize a sleepover. They really miss their cousins. We will all be getting together for Thanksgiving soon! Thanks for the yummy dinner Papa, oh, and the gigantic balloon.

What a great party idea! Lindsay is such a sweet, fun girl. I can't believe how old our kids are getting, it seems like not that long ago when they were playing in the backyard as toddlers! Time flies!
