Welcome to Double Digits!

The kids were out of school on Friday, Jan. 14th for a teacher in service day and we had the surprise banner waiting when they woke up. They loved it. Trevor took the afternoon off and took 7 boys to the movie. Then they came back and had pizza & cookie cake for dinner and rough housed around like crazy boys do! :)
Saturday on their actual birthday we had all of Trevor's family here and "Aunt" Susan came up from Louisville. The day started off with both Ben & Rachel having a basketball game. Both lost (we really wanted a birthday victory) but Ben did score his first points of the season so all was good! It was a fun-filled day with family, food, fun and presents. So it was a great day. I was too busy to stop and cry that my babies were in double digits!
What cute cousins! And... do they ever all love each other.....it's so fun being all together!
Then Sunday the parties continue. Aunt Maureen took Ben & Molly to spend the night (was Rachel ever so grateful) so that she could have her best friends come spend the night. They came in pj's & brought their sleeping bags. We had pancakes and sausage for dinner...and lots more treats throughout the evening. They made s'more mix, ice cream cookie treats and had cupcakes and popcorn. Played pictionary & just dance on the wii, would you rather board game, did a little picture craft with the photo below & watched a movie. Oh yea..... and stayed up way too late! This morning I made donuts from biscuits and was told that I should sell them. 6 girls put away 30 of them so maybe I should consider that! My babies are getting too big! Where did 10 years go?
