Birthday celebration

I must say, summer birthdays are a bit of a challenge in the school years but there is not much a mom can do about it (at least not without some serious thought 9 months prior to summer)! 

I remember that summer 10 years ago when we welcomed a healthy baby girl with great lungs into our lives. The loud cries throughout the hospital and later on at home (felt like 3 months straight) were just preparing us for her love of singing! Anyway, our dear daughter entered the double digits this summer and hasn't looked back. 

We were able to celebrate a little later on in her birthday month and found a few friends to join us. The party was a surprise until she read my texts the night before, which I found out later, but she pretended to be surprised! Did I mention she likes to act as well as sing? Help us!!! There was also a real surprise for both of us when some old friends who had moved away over 5 years ago knocked on the door. I love that quote:
"true friendship isn't about being inseparable, it about being separated and nothing changes"
