One Happy 10 Year Old!

 The birthday girl was up at 5:30 to get the celebration started.  She first pulled out all of her old scrapbooks and looked through page after page of baby pictures spanning the last decade!
 She was so happy to get her requested breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes...
 and Taylor was sweet enough to pick out her outfit and curl her hair.  She also loved how we decorated her room while she was sleeping last night!
She was thrilled with her birthday lunch at school...an Aztek California burrito and chips to share with her friends.

Lorien came home with us after school and Allison couldn't wait to open presents as soon as Matt walked in from work!

She smiled ear to ear when she open her new Mckenna Doll and scuba set.

 Finally, her very own Hawks bag too!
 Then it was off to her choice for dinner...Lucille's BBQ.  We pigged out on chicken, ribs and lots of biscuits.
 They even brought a yummy birthday dessert!
Allison found this Oreo Poke Cake on Pinterest and asked for this to be her bday cake, but we were all too full to eat it.  Looks like we will be eating it tomorrow night instead.  I think Allison felt very special today, appreciated all of the phone calls and gifts from family and friends and is so excited to finally be 10!
