Our Rockin' 10 Year Old!

Here we are with our 10 year old! 10 years!! Wow!! I still can't believe it!We celebrated Skylar's birthday as a family by going out to eat at Olive Garden and then opening presents. She got an alarm clock to go with her MP3 player so that she can now wake up to her music....and make us listen to her music! Seriously, we have a tween on our hands!!

So our little rockstar wanted nothing less than a rockstar birthday party! Ben made some pretty awesome invites for the party.....

The day after her birthday was her party. Skylar loved her 8th birthday party, but the thing she didn't like about it was that she couldn't invite boys, so of course plenty of boys were invited to this one, along with all of her girl friends. There were 20 kids at the party! Wowza!!

We started off the party with pizza and then we played freeze dance limbo. It was hilarious to watch!

Skylar had such a blast!!
Then we headed inside and the kids made rockstar bracelets.








Then we broke out the Rockband and took turns rockin' out.

The kids also danced the night away playing Just Dance. This game is so fun to watch! Those kids could shake it!

We opened presents and cracked open a pinata!

Then it was time for cake & ice cream. Skylar requested me to make ice cream cake & she also wanted it to be made to look like some kind of instrument....so I made the drums from Rockband...can you tell?

Skylar and her friends kept partying well into the night. I think she really, really loved her Rockstar party!!

This picture is just cool. These three boys, Donovan, Parker, & Jayme were Skylar's very first friends from the moment she was born. 10 year later they still are! We have so many memories of this past decade that include this group of kids!

Sweet Sky, I can't believe how quickly you grew up. You are becomming an amazing young lady (gasp!) and always have taught me the most important lesson...just to simply love life! I am so lucky to have you as my daughter!! Love you, love you, love you!!
