FG turned 10 today and thoroughly enjoyed her day. There was a 2-hour snow delay and we made ice cream cone cupcakes for her classmates ~ big hit! Just before we headed out to school, balloons were delivered from Grandma B. Pink and Purple, just like the colors of her room.
Because of the delay, I was able to give her a “birth minute kiss” at 10:29 am. It’s a tradition we try to do every year. Last year, I made sure I volunteered in her class so I could be there at 10:29. I can tell this is going to get harder and harder to keep up as the years go by.
Although she didn’t get the Ipod or American Girl Doll she had listed on her birthday gift wish list, FG got flowers, “The Daring Book for Girls” book and the DVD “Holes.” She loves that movie and I’ve yet to see the whole thing. It looks so strange to me.
Hard to believe 10 short years ago, this angel of a girl came into our lives. She’s such a joy to have around…
Happy Birthday, Favorite Girl!
Happy Belated FG! For all you moms that have not had time to sit down with your kids and watch Holes, I encourage you to do it. Great movie, great message . . . crazy story – but really good stuff!
L also has the same book and R has the Dangerous Book for Boys – they are both super fun!

Happy (belated) Birthday FG! We too do the birth minute kiss, however always at 13:17 in California.
C-A got the same book for her double digit birthday. Time sure has gone bye fast.

Happy Birthday!! Laura (10) loves the movie Holes too. I don’t really get it. I confess I’ve never sat through it entirely but the parts I’ve seen were ok (?)
Love the birthday minute kiss!! Such a sweet idea. Kelly was born at 11:30pm, so that’s doable for the next 9 or 10 years. Laura was born at 1:10 in the afternoon, so a little tricky with school.

So I missed it but something in the mail very soon! I am always running about 2 weeks behind.

Happy Birthday to FG! L really likes Holes too, but I’m with you that it is a bit odd. And it’s so cool that she got to go in late on her birthday.

Happy Birthday FG! What fun to have a snow delay on your birthday. I like the idea of a birth minute kiss. I’ll have to start that with Nate and Drew. The boys love the Holes movie too. I think they have watched it 10 times this past year!
