A decade old....

I can't say how bad I feel about how long I have put this post off. Nikki's 10th birthday was last Monday, and here it is Sunday and I'm just now getting the post up. I wanted to include the pictures from her day and they were just downloaded Friday. Anyways, Nikki had a wonderful birthday - we had her party with just our family and Grandma in the early afternoon and her party with her friends after they got out of school. Her theme was "Wacky Olympics" - we played fun wacky games similar to those at the Olympics and the winner would get a gold medal.

There is this crazy squirrel that hangs around our yard.....you can get up super close to it! It was hanging around the tree that our pinata was on!
