It was a day all about my little girl... who is growing up so quickly!
Stop 1: Unicorn Frappuccino
A quick visit to the nearest Starbucks was first on the day's adventure. She wanted to try the new Unicorn Frappuccino...
Verdict: Just OK. She said it was super sour and not what she was expecting.
Stop 2: A Movie at Home
She wanted to watch a movie with her brother, who was all for any opportunity to stop studying. We ended up watching Sing.
Verdict: She liked the movie (and I didn't hear Jackson complain either). She ate some popcorn and snuggled with us. She was a happy birthdayer!
Stop 3: Build-a-bear with Friends
She didn't want a party, but this was close to a party. She asked a couple of her friends to meet up at the mall to build stuffed animals and hang out.... see stops 4-5 too.
Verdict: She got a stuffed animal (a rainbow bear named Galaxy)... so, this stop was a win. Plus, she got to hang out with her friends and they got some animals too... double win!
Stop 4: The Bouncy-Thing at the Mall
This was an unexpected "please mom" thing to do. And since it was her birthday... I obviously said yes...
Verdict: Fun! She is afraid of heights... so this was adventurous for her. Her friend was happy to jump with her. And I was secretly glad she wanted to do it because I love when she tries something she is afraid of.
Stop 5: Cake!
Even though it wasn't an official party... there was cake involved. And gifts from her friends!

Verdict: Cake. Gifts. Basically, Party. She loved it! Enough said!
Stop 6: Dinner with the Family
Our family likes to have dinner together as our birthday tradition. The birthday person gets to pick the restaurant (and the rest of us try to influence the birthday person to one we really want to eat at). After a very busy day, it was nice to just sit down as a family and spend this time together (plus, a pic of my hubby... showing he exists from time to time).
Verdict: A great meal. A great day. A great family. A great birthday!
I still cannot believe she is double digits... 10!
