Sidney turns double digits.

Sidney turn the big '1-0' this year.  She is a pinterest fanatic, just like Kevin.  She decided that she wanted to be in charge of decorating, both the party and the cake.  I was out of town for her actual birthday, and sadly, she came down with the stomach flu that day.  However, that did not hamper a week of partying.  The Sunday before I left for Texas, we hosted family over for a party.  The Saturday after, she had a party with her friends.

Here she is with a few of her pinterest inspired decoration.

 

I absolutely love this creation.  She picked out all of her favorite pictures and put a 'timeline' of her life above the hanger. 

 

We had about 30 balloons blown up (thank goodness we have a balloon pump).  Here  are just a few. 

 

Grandma Terrell helper her make this emoji cake.  She took a picture of the cake and photoshopped "Happy Birthday Grandma" and sent it to my mom.  They share the same birthday.

 

Sidney had set up a photo booth with props.  Jeremy was the first to jump in!

 

Valerie, Bridget, Kendall and Jackson joined in on the fun.

 

Kevin and I decided to give it a go as well. 

 

 Both of the girls always love making a wish and blowing out their candles.  They take this wish very seriously.  I often wonder what they are thinking.

For her party with friends this year, she opted to invite only two friends and do something a little more extravagant.  She decided to go and get a 'real' mani-pedi.  She put together these, pinterest inspired, unicorn spa jars.

For snacks, she helped me make 'nail polish bottles' out of cheese and pretzel sticks.

We went by Small Cakes on the way to the nail salon.  I packed a candle and matches, in the hopes of mortifying Sidney by singing Happy Birthday in the store.  I think it worked!

The girls were so quiet when we got to the salon.  I am not sure they knew what to expect.

Here they are drying their toes and fingers and trying to check out each others designs.

In the end, they had a great time.  There were lots of giggles and comparing of stories.

Then it was back home to party!
