For her family birthday gathering (which she shared with Aunt Jennifer), we made our own Dairy Queen Blizzard-style ice cream cake...
For her actual big day, she baked her own birthday cake, including using fondant for the first time...it turned out so awesome!
And we celebrated by going out for breakfast for dinner.
Amy realized after Christmas that she'd amassed a pretty good chunk of money, from Christmas gifts and allowances she'd saved up. She proposed if she paid $150 for half, we buy her a new laptop so she'd have her own. Well the math didn't quite work out on the "half" part of the equation (laptops are expensive!), but she got her wish. And much to our relief, we don't have to listen to the kids bicker over whose turn it is on the computer anymore. Oh don't worry, there are plenty more things to bicker about!
Happy #10 to our amazing Amy!
P.S. Reed got the absolute best end of this deal. He did absolutely nothing, contributed nothing, yet now he's got his own exclusive laptop. Pretty sweet deal.
