Karlee turned 10 years old this week...seriously I have a 10 year old kid...how in the world did this happen??? I remember when I had all these babies, I didn't think they would REALLY grow up!! She is growing up though...and she is growing up to be such a fabulous young lady! For even numbered birthdays we do "friend parties"...so this was something she was very excited about. She wanted to do a tea party, a late-night party or go ice skating...so we sort of just combined all those ideas into one!
Karlee made butterfly placemats that they could decorate at the party and she folded fancy napkins and placed them in cups. Then we made fancy raspberry punch and appetizers for everyone when they arrived. (tea party- check!) Then, after cupcakes and presents we headed out to go ice skating (ice skating- check!) and the skate session was from 7-9:30 (late night- check!). We packed all those crazy girls into the van, rolled down the windows, blasted the radio and sang at the top of our lungs till we got there! The ice skating was a blast and they even had the BYU vs. Utah State game playing on a big screen...so even Jake and I got to do everything we wanted!
AND...BYU won...so I will be getting a foot massage tonight (that's me and Jake's favorite type of bet!)
Anyways, when the party finally ended and everyone was back home, Karlee said it was the "best party ever!"...so, mission accomplished! It really was a fun evening and it was so reassuring to see how sweet and fun her friends are...what a great bunch of girls! Karlee you make us proud everyday and we couldn't love you more!
