BethAnne's 10th Birthday!

It's hard to believe that I have a ten-year-old.  It's been a busy ten years.  We're so grateful that we have our beautiful BethAnne.  She is such a light in our lives.  I'm amazed at how strong and kind and faithful and helpful she is.   We are so blessed to have her in our family.


We had a friend party for the first time in many years and the kids had a great time. 

Here is the table all set up for our origami activity.  BethAnne really enjoys origami so she showed her friends how to make some things.

The girls loved playing our X-box Kinect at the party.  They played the game Kinect Party, which is a super fun game and lots of people can participate at once.  It was hard to get some of the girls to go home after the party because they were having so much fun playing :)

Pretty Birthday Girl.

We had a chocolate fountain at her friend party and at the family party the next day.  Thank you Aunt Chrissy for letting us borrow the fountain.  It was a hit!

Here's BethAnne's birthday cake for her family birthday party (for the friend party, we just put some candles in the pound cake that was used for the chocolate fountain).  This is one of my favorite cakes that I've made. 

This was at the family party.  It's so much fun to have so much extended family in town.  It was a wonderful party.  Happy Birthday sweet BethAnne!
