Jennifer is 10!

Turning double digits is pretty special!

We celebrated Jennifer's birthday several times. :)

She doesn't mind celebrating over multiple days. Jennifer is the only kid in our family that ends up having a birthday when we are camping, and since we pack sparsely, it seems only fair to have cake and goodies etc. later. If you are 10 you can handle waiting.

Jennifer has been waiting for almost two years to get a watch. She had it on her wishlist for the last few birthdays. She came along with me to pick it out...she knew it was going to be a watch, so she may as well get one she's gonna like!

Daniel was most helpful in getting her familiar with the features, including things like alarms.

Once we were home she got the usual round of gifts from her siblings.

And cards from away.

We had a delicious cake.

And a family of friends came over to help celebrate. They gifted a kite to Jennifer, which was tried out right away. Fortunately the wind cooperated a  little.

And the kids had fun playing a good round of scrub.

I think that they all had a good time.

Jennifer is growing up fast! She adds a lot of energy to the family! 

If she isn't around the action, she is probably laying quietly on her bed reading a book. She sure goes through books fast! 

We are thankful to have Jennifer in our family. For 10 years already!
