So how did my "Stinkerbell" spend her day. The started with chocolate chip waffles, the Birthday Girl's request. Then she headed off to school, and I took her McDonald's for lunch. Normally she gets a Happy Meal, but today was different. You see, I remember what I had for lunch for my 10th birthday. I have a vivid memory of that meal.
We were visiting my dad in Joliet, Illinois and my mom asked what I wanted for my birthday lunch. As many 10 year olds I wanted McDonald's, and up until that day I always ordered Happy Meals. (They weren't as expensive, and the toys held up a little better, but I digress) That day I decided that I was now double digits, and this meant I was too old for such childish things as Happy Meals. My older sister, who was 12, always ordered a quarter-pounder with cheese when we went to McD's. By golly, this was what older, mature girls ordered, so from now on that is what I would be ordering. I love this memory. I love that I remember it so detailed, and I wanted to share that memory with Kristyn.
She enjoyed her first Quarter-Pounder with Cheese
And I enjoyed the time with her.
That evening she chose to eat dinner at Texas Roadhouse. I am pretty sure this is the main reason for it...
She wasn't shy about getting to ride the saddle!
Lastly we opened gifts.
Priceless!
All in all, I would say birthday #10 will be incredibly memorable!
