Double Digits Baby!

This is Mylie;






She's our #3 kid. She's awesome. The only time she isn't full of energy is when she is asleep. She's funny. We love her.

Mylie turned 10 this month. Turning 10 is a pretty big deal...double digits ya know. I felt like that deserved a party. A real party...with friends.

You have to know this about me: I don't do kid parties. Kudos to you supermoms that do. You rock. And when it comes to throwing super-cool-lavish kid parties, I don't.

And I'm ok with that.

My kids still think I am pretty awesome and they love me, and that is really all that matters.

Not only was this a real party, it was also a surprise party. (patting myself on the back the entire time..yes indeed. Because as I said, I don't throw parties. For the record, I won't be throwing another one anytime soon at ALL.)

Not only was this a real party, and a surprise party, it also had a theme.

I don't do themes either. I don't like them. But I knew Mylie would be thrilled, so I did it.

We had our very own Spa Party, with foot soaks, Cool Whip masks with cucumbers, and a toe and fingernail station.

I even had soft music playing.












This was one of my very special helpers;







We had vegetables and dip, "pick your flavor" milk to drink and giant "make your own fruit pizza" cookies.












Good friends (yes, there is an "extra" in there who showed up late)...presents...good food and fun. The girls had an absolute BLAST.....and I did too.

It was a great birthday.

Happy 10th Birthday Mylie! I love you!
