Double Digits

Ellie is officially a double digit! She turned 10 in March and life has never looked so good. :) Ever since she went ice skating at Madison Muirbrook's birthday party a few years ago, she has been asking to have a skating party! So, 10's the lucky number! Carina, Laurel, Mia, Ellie, Annabella, Foram and Marisa are preped and ready to hit the ice. We had a few girls who already skate well and others who had never been. But I think everyone ended up having a great time.

Marisa and Carina had never met (one friend from school, another from church) but they hit it off and became inseperable on the ice.
Ruth and Hannah give me a pose as they head out to the rink. Thinking?

Cocoa break. Ren and I sat in the warm dining area that had glass to watch the skaters. We talked and sipped cocoa. Eventually all the girls came in for a little refreshment.

Abby and Laurel (I took several of these shots through the glass.)
Foram and Kloie were really nice to help MJ out. She was a first time skater and held her hand for quite a while. MJ had a few spills and tears to go with them. But she wanted to go back sometime!
Ellie loves a good joke or laugh!

Keeping warm.

After skating, we all gathered back at the house for pizza and strawberry shortcake.

Make a wish!

We love Ellie! Can't believe she is 10!
