We spent the last couple of weeks preparing for today. Brookelynn and I made invitations a couple of weeks ago. This weekend she told me that she wanted to make a banner for her party, so we did. She also picked out all of her ice cream bar toppings and placed them in serving glasses. She has been soooo excited this weekend. I told her that getting ready for the party was half the fun and that she should take time to enjoy all the preparation too (and she did). I explained that we shouldnt always look forward to what we are trying to achieve, but instead we should enjoy the journey of getting there.
We woke up to a blustery morning today. Decorations were blowing around and swaying with the wind as we sat decorations out. We got most everything set up before church and the winds died down quite a bit before the party. It turned out to be a beautiful day for an ice cream social. Brookelynn had lots of family and friends to come and celebrate her "double digits".
This year, she invited four classmates, and all four of them were able to attend. She had a great day! We had potato sack races, jumped in the bounce house, played bingo and made ice cream sundae's.
Brookelynn's banner kept blowing around. I thought I had better get a picture while it was staying still.
John Casen had fun on the bounce house too.
