THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Mia is 10!!!

I can't believe my first born is 10 years old!  We decided to have a casual birthday party to help her celebrate.  Here's the invitation:

We did our best to make it look like a real movie theater.  This is just a printed sign I made on photoshop, mounted to a piece of foam board, and lit with some of our patio lights.  


Luke was our adorable ticket taker.  

Our concessions stand had the works.  Pizza, nachos, candy, popcorn, and soda.


The girls loved watching McKenna (an American Girl movie).  Most of them had never seen it before.


We made THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CAKE (which is our favorite).  You can get the recipe here.  Yummiest when made a day in advance.




Mia has some amazing friends and we were so lucky they were able to share this great day with her.
