this little lady is ten years old (well, her birthday is in a few days, technically). but, ten! my gosh. double digits. it feels totally crazy that she’s ten already. she was four like yesterday. alright, enough with that. ten it is and she’s a really cool ten year old. she walks to the beat of her own drum and doesn’t get too caught up in what’s cool and what’s not according to her peers. i like that about her. she’s sassy too. i usually love that–i think a girl with a bunch of older brothers (and a little one!) requires a certain amount of sass to get through the day. as long as it doesn’t turn on me… and finally, she’s funny. like really funny. the other day she was playing mad libs and the blank she had to fill was for a “tool.” she said, without skipping a beat, “william!” we had a good laugh about it. clever, that lindsey.
so, we were going back and fourth about what sort of party to have for her. when i suggested a cookie decorating party, she was all about it. so, i made a bunch of sugar cookies and bought all sorts of colorful nastiness to put on top complete with different colored icings: nerds, fruit loops, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles (or jimmies depending on where you hail from!), mini m&ms. i felt like high fructose corn syrup himself came and vomited all over my kitchen table. but, it was a birthday. when in rome, eh?
it was a fun party. most importantly, she loved it.
happy tenth birthday, lindsey! we love you!

Goodness Lindsey is growing up fast! And now that I think of it, I'd totally be down for a cookie decorating party for my birthday…
Happy birthday, Lindsey!
Ashley says
Isn't high fructose corn syrup a necessary guest at every ten year old's birthday party? You made the right choice. 🙂
Susan says
What a fun idea for a party!
Wonder if it would go over well for my soon-to-be 10 yo boy's next month? Yeah, prob not. I see laser tag in my future.
Happy Birthday to sweet Lindsey!

Is it weird that now I want to be best friends with Lindsey? She sounds so cool!
And a cookie decorating party is an awesome thing for a ten year old. Or a 28 year old (me!)

oh my goodness, she is getting so big. i love seeing little kids growing up and getting their own personalities. my cousin just turned 10 as well and i babysat the other day and she was so funny out of nowhere and i was all "when did you get a sense of humor? i thought you just learned how to walk"
Roxy says
Bridget, you are an amazing mom! You really are.

Aww she seems like she dances to the beat of her own drum and I so admire that in little ones.
High fructose corn syrup has its place and time 🙂
