Saturday, Jenise turned 10. With the kids' school vacation being this week, I was hoping to have a small party for Jenise with her friends but she has so much happening this week(science project, basketball...) that we couldn't schedule it. I am planning on one in March--I've been promising her a sleepover!! Saturday, I wanted to do a little something so we went to our favorite store--Target:) She chose some earrings, a Disney CD and an American Girl Quiz book(she loves these books). Above she is listening to it and JiaLi is dancing away.
For supper, we had Tacos:) We were going to go out for dinner but Jenise really wanted to watch the movie I talk about below so we stayed in and made tacos--all the kids loved them--I'm not sure if they enjoyed eating them or making them more:)
Please don't ask about this so called cake. We were out earlier this week at a concert for Danny and it was a late night and a rushed dinner and I had promised the kids a different snack for their help. Well, on the way home, Daddy ran into the corner store and came out with a box of these. We had some left and Daddy created a cake. (Sunday we got together for my Mom's birthday and my Mom brought a cake for Jenise so she did get a cake.)
Pippi Longstocking, yes, that is the movie. Here is the story. In our neighborhood, we have a Christmas Elf who at Christmas goes crazy and gets all the kids books. This year Jenise's book was Pippi Longstocking. Jenise needs a very good book to read if she is going to read(she is into Beverly Cleary right now). Well, this book, she flew through:) When she was 3-4 years old, we had purchased the Pippi Longstocking video and it was buried in the back of our video cabinet. When she finished the book, I told her that we have the movie and since her birthday was right at the beginning of vacation, she had asked to watch the video on her birthday. I dug it out and the kids watched it. We had to watch it upstairs because our downstairs does not have a video hookup. (never thought videos would be old-fashioned)

I love this post. Its the simple things that children love most. This post shows that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENISE!!!!
Well Happy Birthday to Jenise!
I loved Pippi Longstocking when I was a kid. It sounds like she had a good birthday! I had to laugh at her "birthday cake" though, I've got one who doesn't like cake and we have to get creative for him!
(Your girls could each use a cute bow!)
Happy Birthday! I don't care what anyone says...chocolate is chocolate and those look yummy!
Happy Birthday Jenise!!! Love your taco/movie night idea : )
Glad they all liked the movie, I wasn't sure Danny would sit through it (I won't tell any of his friends LOL)
Can't wait to see you guys!
Happy Birthday to Jenise! It looks like she had a great one. The taco/movie night is a great idea...I think I might borrow it from ya : )
Glad she had a special night!
