Wow, Kendall turned 11 years old this year. Where has the time gone? The morning of her birthday, Sidney woke up super early to make her breakfast. She found her a pretty plate, made her favorite pancakes and wrote a nice little message. She had also decorated a water bottle with painted puzzle pieces as a gift to Kendall, which she wrapped up in a pretty bag. Then she waited, oh so patiently, for Kendall to wake up.
The night of Kendall's birthday, Grandma Terrell made her favorite dinner, Chicken and Dumplings. It was delicious!
To help celebrate her birthday, Kendall wanted to invite some friends over for dinner and ice skating. She made these cute little chocolates for each of the girls. It was her first time using the candy melts and molds. There was a small learning curve on melting the chocolates and coloring them. After that, she was off and running.
The girls enjoyed a feast of mummy dogs, fruit salad and chips. The fruit salad was a huge hit. We did not have a lick of it left at the end of dinner.
Kendall chose a cookies and cream pie, over cake, for her party. I absolutely love watching them blow out their candles. It is by far, the most precious birthday tradition for me.
After a good time at the house, we loaded up the car and headed to Ice World. It was me against 16 ice skates. I wish I was not so insistent on lacing them up tight. However, I think that well laced skates make for a better and safer skating experience.
The girls were ready to go just in time to watch the Zamboni finish up.
They all did really well. We only had one girl who had never skated before. Clearly she had done a lot of roller blading, because she took to it very well.
The girls were all smiles, all night.
At the end of the night, we had a lot of tired girls. Better for sleeping, my dear!
