Happy Birthday Erica!

2012 AND 2013

9th and 10th Birthday Celebrations

Bangalore India

 

Both years Erica has opted to have parties at home and take full advantage of our neighborhood complex and the amenities within its walls!

 

 Happy 9th Birthday Little Miss Dimples

The Celebration Gang

 

May all your wishes come true!

Yep!  This is what NINE looks like! 

 TOTALLY STYLIN'

 

Fast forward a year.....Uh yeah.  I mean age nine was like so yesterday.  I'm totally into being ten!  ("Shoot!" her Mother says, "Where did that year go?!")  Luckily, only children age!  "Mother" is stuck at year 25!  :0)

 

Erica with some of her BFF's at school and when it's your birthday you don't have to wear your uniform.  SCORE!

 Opening Cards from Home

 Peek-A-Boo!

 Savin' Up Her Rupees for something BIG!! :0)

Shoot!  Couldn't find any candles in Bangalore so we tried lighting 10 matches.  It didn't work so well but she was a good sport!

 

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

Erica really wanted a sleepover this year and when Mommy said, "Are you sure?"  Daddy said, "Why not?!"  So that settled it a Sleep Over Party indeed!  We had 14 girls and 2 boys, her brothers, Michael and David (they'll appreciate someday how lucky they were to be surrounded by all those lovely little ladies!  Hahah!)

 If only I could capture the NOISE level in these pictures!  Such shrieking and screeching!  Having a total BLAST!

 The Party Princess

 Got most of them in this picture!

 Weeeee-Hooooooo!

 And they're off!

 Chicken Fights and all!

 Time to Dance!!

 Love that Mikey is in the mix - Show 'em all those dance moves, Michael!

 Food On The Floor - Not enough chairs for everybody!

Shockingly, the girls did amazing at the actual "sleeping" part of the sleep over!  I couldn't believe it!  They all listened and went to bed when they were told.  I was truly impressed.  They were a great group of girls and when I said all of this to Erica she said, "I chose wisely!"  Haha!  I love it!

 

A little "Just Dance" after breakfast

 

Birthday's come but once a year and this was an epic party for our double digit, WHOPPIN' TEN YEAR OLD, Erica!  We love you Erica and even though you're getting bigger, you'll always be our little Keycah Meekah!! ;0)
