Birthdays: The Duo Turn TEN

Our dynamic duo turned TEN on October 3rd. All the cliches hold true, i.e., where has the time gone?, we cannot believe it!, etc.  Instead of going down the rabbit hole of nostalgia (although I'm sure I will be doing so later this week), we were swept up in the excitement of double digits.

Lauren and Grace have wanted to get their ears pierced for years now, and we set the age at ten. Therefore, they have been counting down to this birthday. They opted for having a spa day in lieu of a party, and we decided to make an entire day of fun. They had their ears pierced in the morning, and then we went met George and Skip for lunch. Afterward, they had an afternoon of pampering, including a facial, an "updo," mani/pedi, and a they even crafted a personalized bubble bath for later use at home. Grandparents joined us for a special birthday dinner, and then they opened presents.

On Sunday they were honored to serve as acolytes, and we had lunch at a place of their choosing - J Alexander's - so they could enjoy their favorite french fries. We had planned to have a family movie day, but the duo took a "rain check" on the movie and wanted to come home and play instead. They are holding out for Sing later this year.

They had a wonderful weekend, filled with squeals, laughter and excitement.

Happy 10th!
