Taylor Turns 10!!!

October 16th was Taylor's birthday...
It was a thursday so before school she got to open
her present from Eric and I...
(you may notice a new set of eyes on Mason...yes, that is a new dog!)
She got her first CD player and was pretty excited!
Now she can play her music in her room with no complaining from the boys!!
After school we went to the state park for her party.
There were 10 girls total including Taylor.
They had quite the time...
lots of hiking on the trails and also a scavenger hunt.
We had tacos and chocolate chip cookie cake while we were at the park.
We stayed for about 2 hours before heading back to our house for a sleepover!!
I have not had to do a sleepover yet so I figured it would be a good thing
to do for the "double digit" birthday~
We had 7 girls total that spent the night.
This pictue is of thier after dark hayride.
They sat in the wagon with a big blanket over their heads...had flashlights and told scary stories while Eric and I drove around the property.
They stayed up till around midnight and fell asleep to a movie.
Here they are in the morning eating their donuts...you can kinda see all the blow up mattresses in the background.
I gave them the great room for the night and it worked out pretty well.
They had lots of fun making up dances and judging each other...
I think this is my favorite pic...
They all loved Taylor's new pony "fritz" and went out first thing
in the morning to see him again....it wasnt even 8am and still really cold out.
I think he enjoyed all the attention!!
Hope you enjoyed the party pics...I think Taylor had a really good time...
she wants to know if we can do it again next year:)
