Yesterday, Melissa celebrated her 10th birthday with several friends from school, most of her soccer team and Ms. Elizabeth. It was a gorgeous day and the girls all had fun with tug-o-war, hoola hooping, a little craft, whiffle ball, and, of course, cookie cake. After the party, Melissa's school friends stayed over for a sleepover. They watched one of Melissa's birthday gifts - Twilight: New Moon. Melissa received some really great gifts - many books, many small horse figurines, some clothes and some other stuff. She had a wonderful time. We can't quite believe that she has reached the double digits. It just ain't right.
