Oldest's Big 10 Birthday

It's always wonderful to hear my daughter say, "Mom, this was the best birthday ever!" And it was so easy. I went to Dollar Tree and spend $40 on little gifts and some candy. Husband got cakes at the local supermarket. Didn't want to make cheesecake and carrot cake. Oldest wanted a pinata but we searched and didn't find anything we liked so....we made our own. It was just a large brown paper bag with lots of drawings and stickers on it. It worked great and the kiddos had a blast. We also did a scavenger hunt and every kiddo was in the pool at some point. The parents got to talk and it was loads of fun. Not too crazy with eight kids in one place. Plans to do something similar for youngest on her next birthday. HAPPY TENTH BIRTHDAY, OLDEST!!!
