Eliza's birthday snuck up on us again this year. It comes so quickly after Christmas! I took ice cream sandwiches in to her classroom and they sang to her--the "tall" version (why she is up on the chair). For her birthday dinner we went to Grimaldi's. We were having our family pictures taken and that restaurant was right there, so she opted for that. The pizza was great! I felt like we were kind of a spectacle as they aren't really equipped for bigger families to eat there. They accommodated us though and were great with the kids--they had the person making the dough throw it up really high for them and they gave Ezra a onesie from the restaurant.
For her birthday, Eliza wanted a "day out with Mom." So that is what we did. She and I (and Ezra) went shopping and to Olive Garden for dinner. She got a pair of pajama bottoms, then opted to get the cash for the rest to put towards a Kindle Fire which she really wants. Now it might be an iPod Touch. :0 We had a fun time together.
At age 10, Eliza:
--still loves art and is so good at it. She can draw anything.
--loves sports
--is doing track for the third year
--is good at doing hair--hers and others
--loves putting fun outfits together
--loves making lists and schedules
--has some less endearing qualities, but we'll save those for another day!
Happy 10th birthday, Eliza!
