MJ turns double digits (10)

The big 10


Carl woke up early, well 7:30, to make her Crepes with blueberry sauce for her breakfast in bed.  I think that is a really great start to any morning.  

Soon after breakfast I took MJ and Ha-Na to the spa.  MJ got her hair cut and styled and then the three of us received mani-pedis.

When we came home it was time for MJ to find her presents.  Years ago the kids asked if we could hide their birthday gifts and since then we have forgone wrapping them to hiding them.  It makes a great game for the day.




I think, by her reaction, that Just Dance was her favorite gift.  She was also excited about all the cloth we bought her and has been planning sewing projects.

We all went to the movies although MJ and Lissy opted for Paddington Bear while the rest of us went to the Hobbit.  Carl had a big group of friends who joined him.  I cried at the end.

We had the Ryvers over for her birthday dinner.  She requested medium rare steak and was not disappointed.  The kids all had a great time playing Just Dance and Little big planet 3 (a gift from grandma and grandma).
  

She wanted peppermint shortbread for her cake.  It was nice to have something so simple.  I think the kids may be over the whole themed cakes thing..I still have Lissy to make them for.
