Double Digits

Little turkey is 10 years old today. TEN. YEARS. OLD.

Due the day after Thanksgiving, the Monday of that week they decided very suddenly it was time to arrive while we were watching Monday night football, and 6-7 hours later we had a baby!

2015 debut

The year flew by then on 2016 she turned 1 on thanksgiving day

2016 smash cake!

She turned 2 in 2017 and was a quintessential toddler.

2017 Santa train

She became a threenager in 2018.

Becoming a big sister earlier that year, she became a 'kid' to me by comparison to the baby. But there's still that sweet softness to her face and later the tantrums of a toddler.

Turning four in 2019, we threw her fist friends party at the movies.

A very happy birthday girl and her (honestly very happy to do all this) mommy

And 2020 was...2020. But she still turned 5, just no* one had birthday parties that year

*except dr Soc, we threw him a 40th in February right before the world shut down

In 2021 she started kindergarten and invited her whole class to her 6th birthday.

The special guest made it the talk of the class! Still very young, but becoming a kid more and more.

For her 7th birthday in 2022 we went to Bounce U. The party started at 6pm, so by 8pm when we were eating most of the kids were so exhausted they were lying on the table as they ate!

She's lost a few teeth and the baby softness of her face by then. Solid kid age. And her Lego prowess was on point.

For her 8th birthday in 2023 (I pushed) for another movie birthday (because so easy!) party.

No biggie, just an 18+ | 1540 pcs Disney Villain Lego set for my 8 year old. She did 95% of this awesomeness by herself, and the only reason it wasn’t 100% was because I kept asking if I could “help”
