Amelia turned TEN May 16th. How did THAT happen?? We got up early on the 15th to open her cards and gifts that had arrived by mail. (I'm so glad things still arrive by mail!)
Why did she open things a day early?
This year, instead of a party, she wanted a shopping spree. And since her birthday was on a Monday, we decided to open her cards a day early so she could shop on Sunday.
She didn't mind opening her cards and gifts a day early. She's good that way.
She was very pleased to find some gift cards had come in the mail.
Grandma & Grandpa Blackman sponsored a shopping trip to JC Penney, and Aunt Courtney, Uncle Johnny and the cousins sponsored a shopping trip to Sears. (All favorite places for Amelia to shop.)
Grandma Bisset is sponsoring a shopping trip, too!
And Evelyn gathered some choice items to give to her sister.
And I'll take this one as a gift to me--one of my favorite current pictures of them!
Happy birthday, Amelia! You know what you want, you are determined and insightful, and you are an awful lot of JOY rolled into one ten year old person!
