Our firstborn just turned a decade old this past week! So hard to believe and it arrived so quickly! We started her birthday celebrations on the afternoon before her birthday by taking her on an outing with just her Daddy and I. She got to choose the outing and picked ice skating.
I love this picture of her Daddy helping her lace her skates. She tried skating a couple of years ago but wanted to try it out again. There was no skating for me this trip, but I enjoyed being the photographer and all the fun and watching how much fun she had skating with her Daddy! Then we took her out for supper afterwards.
She woke up the next morning on her birthday to a bed full of balloons as is tradition!
It was forecast to be in the 60s and 70s for her birthday weekend so she asked if we could spend a couple of days at the beach. It's not often that we get weather like that in January so we were glad we could celebrate her birthday with such beautiful weather!
We drove over the new high rise bridge to Surf City for our first time since it opened in December.
After a few minutes enjoying the porch swing, it was time to enjoy a little birthday beach time with Rachel.
She loves to look for shells and there were quite a few shells to be seen and this time Allie wanted to be her little shadow!
Birthday hugs from her sisters too
Her birthday picture on the beach
and chocolate dinosaur cupcakes and presents to finish out her birthday!
We started the next day with doughnuts for breakfast on the porch swing!
It was 70 degrees by early afternoon so we had an awesome day to walk in the pedestrian lane over the new high rise bridge and back.
We had a fun couple of days celebrating Rachel and her 10th birthday! We are excited to see how God grows her closer to Him and all that comes ahead for her in this next decade! Happy Double Digits, Rachel B!! We love you!
