Zoe 10

My sweet eldest was hitting double digits and was devastated leading up to her birthday that she wouldn't be in school.  However, I was determined to make it a good day, and thankfully had a lot of help (as my body was having a major down day).

My mom got her a new shirt, and daddy went to work later so he could whip up her requested breakfast!

Then it was gift time, including from her grandparents in Michigan.

She was trilled to find some money in a purse.

Then on to some special gifts from us...

I love her excitement.

Siblings always give the best cards.

She got a special Loveland Coffee drink for her birthday and we watched a movie!

Then a huge surprise....some of her classsmates had a drive by celebration for her!  She was shocked and very touched (so was her momma)!

I used a chalk project as a ploy to get her outside for the surprise.

Grammy came for the fun celebration.  She was a good sport in helping with the project.

Sweet girl with her own Kambucia that her grammy brought her.

That night we tried something novel and picked up some kid pizza kits from Uno's.

So they got to make their own dinner, after some instructions from daddy.

It was a fun activity!

Then we finished our movie with our pizza dinner.

Zoe requested Italian ice for her birthday treat....so we made a candle work with it!

Then that weekend we had a celebration at my parent's house, social distance style outside, so everyone felt comfortable.

Picnic dinner with amazing weather.

More gifts from the family.

This girl still loves some snuggle items!

Treasures from the cousins.

And some more cash for the win.

Cousins often make multiple cards and artwork.

Dessert request: homemade ice cream sandwiches!

So yummy!

Uncle William got into some fishing action.

And showed off some of his handy work.

Some fun in the hammocks.

And love for the best Grammy around!

Zoe, also, wanted a picture with the newest member of the family (and glad she did, as Pipper was quick to grow from this little size).

I am so very thankful for all the people that took time out of their day to pour out love on my sweet Zoe.  We had to postpone her mother/daughter birthday trip to the following month but that gave us something to look forward in continuing to celebrate!
