Halle is turning double digits tomorrow! We had her birthday party today which was a rainbow theme! It was fun to find stuff to do with rainbows. We decided on rainbow snacks (colored goldfish, fruit in the shape of a rainbow, and fruity pebble rice krispie treats) with flavored waters. We played pin the gold under the rainbow and had races to separate m&ms. It was a fun party. Halle has cute friends and she got some great gifts. She has never been a big fan of cake, so I tried something new this year. I made her a cake roll (with ice cream in the middle). I saw a demonstration at
http://www.delightdulce.com/2013/03/heart-patterned-cake-roll.html , that allows you to put a pattern in the cake...so I tried it!
I thought it turned out cute.
We like different around here!
Halle had a fun party and a great day. I can't believe she is 10! Time flies by so incredibly fast, I am not ready to be an empty nester. That is just how fast I know it flies! I will blink and they will be all married and gone. I dread those days. I dread an empty, quiet, yes..even spotless house. Even though they are growing up to be great kids, I want them to stay little kids.
Halle, you are such a sweet little spirit. You are so kind, and gentle, and sensitive. You are smart and talented and are such a great baby tender. :) I love you so much and hope you had a wonderful birthday!
