Double Digits!

Well, it's happened, the day my lizard has been waiting for: her 10th birthday. She was so thrilled to be "double digits". It was so cute. She was able to have a friend sleepover Friday night and help her get ready for her party Saturday afternoon. Her best buddies came over and we did their hair, make up and glitter nails. They all decorated a frame and we took pictures so they can all have a framed picture of their bffs! It was a lot of fun, and my Lyssa who is so sweet said it was her most memorable birthday ever! Since she is ten she can get her ears pierced. She decided to do it on Nov 3, the anniversary of her baptism. She is taking 3 friends to the mall with her and when we leave Claire's, she will be pierced. She is thrilled!

10 Fabulous things about my 10 year-old:
1. her kind heart
2. her generosity
3. her sense of humor
4. the care she gives to her little brother
5. she loves loves to do kind things for others
6. she is a naturally talented dancer
7. she is a hard worker
8. she is determined
9. she is quick to forgive
10. she came to our family almost perfect, we just have to try not to mess her up

Lyssa is such a fantastic, loving, kind, giving little girl who has already learned the love of service to others. I am so blessed to know her and learn from her. I count myself lucky to be her mom. Thanks, Lys, for being the great girl that you are! I love you so much!!!

I second everything Mom and Nisa said. You are one special, loving girl who always has a kind thought or a hug for your ABA--and others. We are so proud that you are finally a DD GIRL. (Double digit that is.) Now you only have 90 years to go to be a TD GIRL. Love to you, ABA and OBO
