And then she was 11

OOOH My Sweet Sweet Ry!  
I seriously couldn't ask for a sweeter, kinder, more fun or helpful and responsible kiddo.  
Birthday #2 in corporate housing, which meant another store cake

We told her that she got $3 from us since we didn't know what to get her. She knew that wasn't true, but didn't have a clue what she would be getting. She got one present with $3....and the note telling her where to find her real present. The shock of receiving an e-tablet!
In earlier discussions we had told her NO WAY and given our reasons. We got no argument from her, she said she understood and that was the end of the discussion. (She seriously IS the Best kid Ever) We have found ourselves  in uncharted territory with technology and how fast it is changing. Trying to find the balance between safety, control and Trust.  

Look at that face! 
We went to Red Robin and then Madagascar 3 On her Bday, sadly no pics. BUT the next day we were invited to go Roller Skating.  We had never been before, so it was an Experience! 

Ry &  Alisa
She had just fallen, I guess she wasn't in the mood to say CHEESE!

What a week!  Happy Birthday, luv U kiddo!!
