Bridget's Birthday

Bridget turned 10 on October 13,
She had this party on September 24, with 4 of her
best friends who live in the University village.

She wanted to have a party before we moved

Kaise, Abby, Susannah, Abigail, and Bridget

Bridget and her friends had fun playing with the gifts.

This was a very busy time for us. 3 days later we packed up our entire
apartment and loaded it into a moving truck. After this party Abby
decided that she wanted a party before we left. We had one for her on
September 29, after Ryan had already left for Tennessee. I did not get any
pictures of Abby's party. I did not know where the camera was,
it could have been on its way to Tennessee.
I am happy that I had these parties for them now,
but at the time I kept wondering what I was thinking.
On her actual birthday I made her another cake and we took her out to dinner.
this was also when she got presents from us. She got a new outfit that
we gave her before school, so she could wear it .
When she got home I had decorated her room with new bedding , curtains
and a new rug. I thought since she finally had her own room it should look nice.
Abby's actual birthday is next week and we plan to do the same thing for her.
