Jenna Turns 10!

Jenna turned 10 this year, and her birthday fell on a Saturday. Normally that is not a big deal and simply perfect for party planning, but this year, we're working on the "big show". She spent her birthday with me at the church while I rehearsed the numbers I've been assigned, and Kelly was off at another building for Merit Badge day. Jenna's friend, Sarah, was in the building with us, so they hung out. Jenna did get the unique experience of being sung to by a group of thugs (Tangled) and some zombies (Ghostbusters).

After rehearsal, we made the most of the evening. Jenna chose Hometown Buffet for her birthday dinner, and she even got a piece of yummy chocolate cake from the dessert bar making the celebration official.


After dinner, and opening a card from Mom and Dad asking her if she'd like to go bike shopping after dinner, we headed to Walmart for a new bike. Seafoam green was the winner, and Jenna's new bike has gears which was what she really wanted.

Back home, we opened presents and cards from Aunt Beth and Uncle Kevin, Grandpa, Aunt Michelle and Aunt Kathy and Uncle Chuck. The Lalaloopsy dolls were a hit as you can see.
Party planning is in the works, and Jenna will get to celebrate her birthday with friends. I'm glad we could make the most of her actual day, and she's happy that she'll get to spread out the celebrating over the next month.
