Elyse Turns 10 Years Old

Today Elyse hit double digits, 10!  I can't get over how scary that is to know our little girl is never going to have a birthday consisting of just one number again.  She is growing up way too fast and I hate everything about that fact.  Love her to pieces and pray year 10 brings as much joy, love and hope as the last nine years have brought.  Elyse continues to love anything to do with singing, dancing, being around friends or family, swimming, and God.

Happy 10th Birthday, Elyse!  

We love you more than words can ever show.

Elyse celebrated turning 10 with 24 hours of celebrating.  It started with some of her closest friends coming over after school yesterday for a sleepover party.  The girls painted nails, ate pizza/cake, opened presents (including a karaoke machine), had a singing competition, and ended the night watching "Newsies" on the big screen :)  Thankfully they all slept pretty good and were fabulous!  Then today she got to participate in the Mane Event at school, celebrated with Nana, opened more presents, ate more cake, and then ended her day by going out to eat.  If 10 is as good as her birthday celebration was than I think it's going to be a great year!
