Happy Birthday Alison!
Turning 10 was a big deal in this house.
The night before, Eli slept in Alison's bed because they were SO excited for her birthday. He said he was going to help her sleep because she was convinced she wouldn't and turned on classical music for her. It was pretty sweet.
Ben made her cake and I put up some decorations.
Eli's plan didn't work all the way, and they were up at 5:30 ready to party! I was mean and made them stay in bed until 7...they were more excited than Christmas for this birthday.
Cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then she opened presents.

| Happy Birthday Alison. I hope you have a good time. Love Eli. |
The smiles on the kids' faces was the biggest when Alison opened her Dollar Tree presents from the boys.
Eli playing with Alison's new jump rope:
We did a yoga workout with Alison's new equipment and watched an episode of Little House.
Then we met the White's at Peter Piper Pizza for lunch.
We borrowed Aline for the afternoon and stopped by Target so Alison could pick out a new shirt. She was excited to find this Harry Potter T-shirt and a matching pair of running shorts that Aline has (she also got a pair of yoga pants).
The girls played for a little bit and then everyone joined back up for cake. Ben made this 3 layer cake from scratch and it was amazing.
We finished the day with dinner and a movie (The Lorax and hotdogs) and the kids crashed from being up so early. It was great day celebrating one beautiful little girl.
They were all right, the years really do fly by. What an incredible 10 years we've had.

I kept refreshing yesterday until this post showed up (and then I forgot to comment, oops). What a great celebration for a great young lady :)
