Double Digit Birthday

It doesn't seem like that long ago that we were ordering Barbie cakes and buying gifts at the Disney store... but somehow Kara reached the milestone of being double digits.

Though she has grown so much, she still has the best best-friend...

And a great group of friends at school.

So what does a 10 year old do while waiting for her grandparents at the grocery store before dinner?  Well, since her mom got a new phone with more available storage... photo shoot!

The kids all had piano lessons after school, so we didn't have a lot of time, but we've gotta eat!  Kara chose teppanyaki, which is always a crowd pleaser.  The chef asked if she thought she could (with the help of her brothers) blow out the biggest birthday candle of them all...

We ended our celebration with Ampersand ice cream.  Yum!

Even though there are no Disney dresses wrapped up, Kara will always be our princess... no matter how many digits.
