December 10: Another new experience for our big girl. She made it into the school spelling bee which apparently all 5th graders were required to test for. Only 20 students were in the Bee however and Lily made it all the way to the the final 7. One of her best school friends went on to win and will go to the citywide spelling bee.

I’m so proud of our Lily. She has been involving herself in a lot of things that are completely new to her lately. Earlier this month she volunteered to go along with the chorus group she’s in from school to perform Christmas songs at an outdoor mall. Unfortunately some nasty weather was moving in at the same time so Scheel’s was kind enough to allow the kids to sing inside their store.

For a few months I knew I wanted to throw Lily a Harry Potter 10th birthday party. Because we would be in Austin at my mom’s house a couple weeks before her birthday I thought it would be fun to rope her into the planning and partying. She and my nieces once again (remember her Lemony Snicket party last year?) went out of their ways to pull this off.

While we were in Texas Lily turned 10! TEN! We’re in the double digits now folks. And because whenever we’re in Texas for a birthday there are usually two parties. This one was her actual date of birth birthday, July 28th when we were at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.
