Fun times, Halloween with the cousins.....

Tenth Birthday


As amazing as it may be (to us at least) our girl is TEN years old!  Yes, that is right, she has reached the advanced age of one decade.  She is at a sweet in-between age right now.  She thinks she is big, and was quite concerned about looking good in her outfit that day, but still ran around like crazy at the zoo on her her actual Birthday.

According to this sign at the Zoo, she is the perfect size for a 10 year old Kid...

They may be big, but they still ran to play in the playground :-)

They loved the animals, who were quite active that day thanks to the cooler weather.

Such sweet, beautiful besties they are!
