Calissa's 10th Birthday

Calissa turned 10 on Friday!  I can't believe that our baby is 10.  Where has the time gone???

Calissa had a craft birthday party again this year at her Grandma's house last Saturday.  It is fun for her and the girls and super easy for me since my mom preps and runs the whole thing!
 She had a few friends that came.  This is her friend Rachel making a paper purse.
 Janel, Haley, Gracie and Jocelyn making cards.
 Natalie and Calissa.
 Grandma and Kyrsten making bookmarks.
 Aunt Tina came to help again this year.  She was in charge of the purses.  Thanks Tina!!
 They also made these cute bags with m&m's in them.
 Then it was time to open presents ...
 and go a little crazy!
 Blowing out the candles!  
 Some cute real flowers and cute money flowers!
 We ended the party with milkshakes made by Grandpa and Calissa's favorite chocolate cake!
 Friday was her actual birthday.  We started the day with homemade cinnamon rolls!
 Make a wish!
 Excited to get a gift card to get a manicure and pedicure!
(Don't you love her bangs that she cut herself last Sunday???  Really??? She's 10!!)
 We're having fun with Just Dance too!
 Her last present from mom and dad was some sticker, activity, paper doll books! 
That night we went to In n' Out for dinner.  A new one just opened by us in Pleasant Hill. (Don't you love my finger on my lens?)  We were In n' Out pretty fast.  Sunday, we celebrated with homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and tomorrow we're headed to Benihana for her out to dinner meal.  I think she's managed to celebrate for a long time!!  Happy Birthday Calissa!  We love your excitement for life and the joy and happiness that you bring to our family!
