Kate Turns 10

 

For Kate's 10th birthday, which was August 8th, we made a trip to the Goodwill and bought party dresses for all the girls and remade them.  We had 3 machines going, 5 seamstresses making alterations, and a table full of kids making fun party hats.  After the gowns were fitted and high heels were chosen, Glynne took the girls on a photo shoot.  

Can you tell which pair used to be black? Spray painting shoes does work!!

Mark Thompson, all decked out, and at our house to play with the boys, hopped in the last picture.  What a crew!  They wore their fancy dresses and were served dinner in our decorated mudroom! 

After dinner, the sleepover party began.  Every new 10 year old in our family gets his/her first sleepover.  So...this was Kate's year to host her first one.  These girls were so well behaved.  It was a joy to have them around.  Anytime Kate asks to have these girls over, I will definitely say yes.
