Happy 10th Birthday Cai Lynn!

I'm amazed how quickly the time has gone! My "baby" is now 10 years old! She is all girl yet is VERY athletic and tries very hard to keep up with her big brothers.

As tradition dictates, we woke up very early, got ready for school, work and she opened her presents. Armed with cookies to share with her class, she headed off to a birthday breakfast with my mom.

After breakfast it was time for school.

A few presents....

 

Happy Birthday 10 year old! Welcome to double digits!

 

My mom sent me these pictures from breakfast at IHOP

After school/work we headed to my mom's where there were more presents, cake, ice cream and a yummy dinner.

 

Cute new boots!

 

Duncan immediately claimed this puppy as his.... which Cai Lynn has to remember to keep it on her dresser, not her bed when not in use. :-)

 

Jared is trying to catch the smoke right here.... not punch someone. LOL

So I kept asking her what she wanted for her birthday and she had only one request. (over and over) To go to Build A Bear... AGAIN! No matter HOW I tried steering her elsewhere, she again wanted Build A Bear. 

So a couple days later, I picked her up after work and we headed down to the Mall. She was SO excited and had a tough time choosing her pet as well as her clothes. After much thought she finally had her new member to the family.
