Hitting Double Digits
I can hardly fathom that my daughter has now hit double digits and is ten years old. Although it doesn't seem like yesterday that she was born, it doesn't seem like a full ten years.
Erica is now up to my chin in height and I cannot carry her around anymore (at least without hurting myself). Officially a "tween", she had five of her girl friends over last night for her birthday party / sleep-over. The main event - an opening night viewing of the Nancy Drew Movie.
Side note - the movie was enjoyable - the right mix of humor, creepiness and intrigue - somewhat predictable for this adult, but I know the girls really enjoyed it.
Gifts - a Nintendo DS and a couple of games, a couple of cute purses, several earrings, Nancy Drew mystery games, books and other nick nacks.
Here are all the girls - the obligatory group picture:
