Kali's Birthday Surprise

I can't believe I have a 10 year old. It just doesn't seem real. Kali is a wonderful girl. She is very sensitive, kind, and thoughtful. She tries her best to make everyone happy.

My kids are only allowed to have friend parties every other year, so this year Kali had a family birthday. Which was perfect because her Grandma Austin (who Kali absolutely adores) had purchased tickets months and months ago to come out this weekend. We decided to keep Grandma's visit a surprise.

After some bowling (if you can really call it that :)) we came back for some birthday cake and went to bed looking forward to spending the weekend with Grandma. The next day Kali left school at lunch time and went to the mall with Grandma. You can read Kali's blog about what she did at the mall. Let's just say her Grandma took her to do something that my Grandma had to take me to do because my dad was so against it.

It was a fun and relaxing weekend. A lot less stressful than planning a friend birthday party!

Fun! I think she thoroughly enjoyed it-it was hot topic in class today. :) (During our "tell what you did this week" time, so she wasn't talking when she shouldn't be.)

Can't get on Kali's blog so where was it that Grandma took her? Just wait til she is a teenager and then you will be asking yourself where the time went. Happy B-day Kali!

They grow up too fast. Cole just turned 11. I'm glad you had a good weekend. I think anyone would agree about friend parties.
