Double Digits!


Della had a birthday, shout hooray!!

10 years old!!
She lived up every second of any type of celebration!!

It was an off year for parties.

She did get to invite 2 friends to do something
fun with her the Saturday before her birthday.

She picked Scarlett and Blakely and we went to Slick City!

Lindi had Scout over, and they worked out an agreement to where 
they could come also:)


First we filled up at In-N-Out!






I don't mind Slick City, because they have these massage chairs that only cost $10
for 30 minutes of heavenly comfort!

Twist my arm to relax and watch a show on my phone!





We drove by the new house where they begged to pet the neighbors horse and donkey's.
1 minute turned to 20 minutes!

Who knew I had such animal lovers?






We had the grandparents over for Sunday dinner!
Thankfully the Whitmers had a "2" candle so we could sing
Happy Birthday!

I think I had to borrow candles from them on the last birthday.







All ready for school in her favorite outfit!
She didn't mind having to go as she knew more
birthday wishes would be coming her way!






She requested a Canes lunch drop-off!





Once at home the doorbell kept ringing with constant love being dropped off.

Aunt Stephanie, her name sake, made it a special point to give her a gift
to celebrate this monumental double digit year!




Lane got to join in on her opening her gifts.





Dinner at her FAVORITE restaurant, Nandos.
That heaping plate of nachos gives her life.

Same girl, same. 





Della has rocked these past 6 months with eating gluten and dairy free due to 
some major inflammation in her tummy.

She got to splurge on her birthday, and she deserved it!

Her love for squishies is fierce!

She wishes she could kick her dad out of his bed so she could snuggle
with me every night. 

She needs physical affection, so much attention.

Sometimes it suffocates me, but I know one day it will change and I will miss this
as she is my last "baby".


We love her so much!!





Family Pictures

 


Family pictures turned out great!

Bummer Lane wasn't in them with us.
I wasn't going to get our individual family pictures taken, but the photographer said
yes we were, ha!
