Mallory's 10th birthday!

A few weeks ago, (sorry, this is kinda late!) our daughter Mallory had her TENTH birthday! Double-digits-- how can that even be?! She is getting so big and smart and tall! We sure love her sweet smile, zany sense of humor, and her love for all things furry or feathery. She is our chicken whisperer, she could tame them into doing tricks someday, I am sure!

We had a fun jungle themed party for her, with lots of lions, tigers and bears, oh my! We had some family and friends come to celebrate her, but we always wish there was more! This year her party landed on fall break, so several friends were out of town. We still had a great time though. Enjoy the pictures!

 This was a hummus dip tray that I made from a photo on Pinterest, I love it! My parties would be so dull without Pinterest!

 Elephant shaped jello jugglers... fun!

 Her current favorite for dinner... Ham & cheese sliders and cheeseburger sliders-- YUM!

 The table all set up...

 The panda face cake that her dad made for her. So cute! (Mommy bakes it, Daddy decorates it...)

 She got a Finding Dory poster from her friend Annie... (sitting in the chair with her)...

 And a cute little dog... My girls love the big-eyed stuffies...

 American Girl lego people... so cool!

 A fun star shirt from Grandpa and Grandma...

 A cool Captain America shirt from cousins...

 Mom and Dad gave her Twister, as well as a Star Wars shirt and getting her ears pierced!

 Here are the kids playing Twister at the party.

 Singing "Happy Birthday to you..."

On Sunday, her grandpa came by and gave her a robotic dog that walks and barks, she loves it!

Here is a photo of our girl right after she got her ears pierced... she was really surprised!

Happy Birthday again to our Mallory!
