Marin's Birthday



She did it!! Marin is officially 10 years old. Can we now take a nap? This kid can pack fun and parties and events into days like no one else I know. We finally had to write a list of all the things we have done for her birthday this year......it filled a page. This is the first year (since she turned one) that we have not had a huge party. Most years she creates and hands out invitations and I am left with baffled mothers calling needing more details. Thank you Marin for listening to us this one time and understanding that we could not handle another party this year.

Some of the things she did and got for her birthday:
  • Vacation to California
  • Surfing lessons
  • Drove a Volvo (made out of legos) and got her license (to drive a lego Volvo)
  • Clothes from both sets of Grandparents
  • Bounce house time in the front yard for neighborhood party
  • Sleepover with best friend, Noella
  • Target gift card
  • Camp Rock DVD
  • Played with kittens at Humane Society
  • Watercolor picture from Grandma
  • Stay up late and get up late (before school starts)
  • Took treats to school for first day so she can get 2 birthday events at school - summer birthdays are celebrated later in the year and this way she gets 2!

We do not feel old enough to have a 10 year old in the house but we are so grateful she is ours. What a priceless gift we have been given! Thank you Marin! We adore you!
