A Decade

Ten years.  Double digits.  One decade.  Not long ago she looked like this and then I blinked.


Now she's 10!

She wanted to go skating for her birthday

with some friends

and she even invited Isaac


Having fun with Darla, and Katelyn



A roller-skate birthday cake.  With jumbo marshmallow wheels.  Dipped in sparkly colored sugar.  Because Abby loves sparkles.

And sparkly colored-sugar pompoms.  If you tear a jumbo marshmallow in half.  Wet your hands slightly.  And roll the halved-marshmallow into a ball.  Then dip it in colored-sugar.  It will turn into a pom-pom.  True story.
And if the birthday girl decides to take some pictures of her cake while you are putting the finishing touches on it.  And then DROPS her camera in the cake.  It will take at least a half hour to fix it.  True story too!

Presents!

I got her paper party tablecloth from Target.  The colors are so happy!


I may wall-paper my entire house with it.  Maybe :)
