Morgan turns TEN!

We celebrated Morgan's first decade of life this fall with a party at our house. The house was turned out in shabby-chic fashion and looked FABULOUS! I met the girls at school and they all walked over to our house where they at cake, unwrapped presents and watched a movie. Morgan had a good time with them and they all went home with a goodie bag stamped with their names on them. Thank goodness for stamp sets! That's all I have to say! It personalized Morgan's party in a cheap but expensive-looking way and Morgan made bookmarks for all of her friends with their names on them.

My pictures of the house and the party things got lost in cyberspace, or the electronic equivalent of where socks go in the laundry, darn it! So here's pictures of the party itself...
We had a fun little family party, too, most of which Morgan missed because she was engrossed with a video game she got. She unwrapped it, plugged it into her DSI and that was it. Nothing else mattered. We called her over to sing "Happy Birthday" and, without looking up from her DSI, she walked up, blew out the candles, and walked back into the living room without missing a single key-stroke on her game. Never-you-mind that we had been sitting there watching and waiting to sing to her or eat cake! The three of us had a good laugh at her expense. She didn't know what we were laughing at until we told her what she had done. Fortunately, she had a good sense of humor. Or maybe, the cake was just too yummy to pass up. Whatever the case, Morgan decided we weren't all that bad and stuck around for cake and more presents.

We sure are lucky to have Morgan in our family. She is creative and spunky. She has recently discovered cooking and likes to make her own meals. We love you, Morgan! You are a wonderful girl!
