Snip, snip

For your viewing (dis)pleasure, here are some snippets of the big day.


The younger girls gathered flowers to make birthday bouquets.




 


 
 







Millie took a birthday shower.

 




Birthday breakfast and bouquets...  
Annie had to put a tablecloth on to make things worthy of a Double Digit Day.


 


 







I need to put this recipe on buildabelly. It is more than worthy.


 

 My mom makes each grandbaby a quilt when they're born.  Her brilliant (insane) follow-up idea was to make each growing grandchild a full-size quilt for their tenth birthday, following the color scheme each child requests.

Just so you know, she has 23 grandchildren and counting.


 


Aaaand, the cake.  Millie wanted to make her own cake this year-- an ice cream cake!-- which saved me buckets of time.  Happy, happy-- poof!

Yeah, when Millie told her she wanted the colors purple, gold, pink, green, and blue, I wondered how Mom'd pull it off, but she did!
