How is it possible that my first born is 10 already?! To celebrate we did a Glow in the Dark/Neon party at the house with some of her friends! Of course we did it later in the day/evening so they could have fun with the glow part of the party. We ask everyone to wear neon or white so the black lights in the house would make their clothes glow! They had such a fun time being silly, playing a few games and decorating T-shirts with glow in the dark paint! Enjoy some of the photos from the party and my little Top Ten list about Sarah that I made to commemorate the occasion!

Top 10 Reasons I Love Sarah
10. She shares my same love of Starbucks and any
thing salted caramel!
9. She is a talented Irish dancer and watching
her dance makes my heart sing. She is
proud of her Irish roots and it shows!
8. Sarah told me recently that, “Italy must be
heaven”. I can’t agree more. She thinks it’s because you can eat pizza and
gelato to your hearts content! Just wait
till she grows up to really enjoy the finer things Italy has to offer!
7. She has a love of travel and learning about
different places and cultures. This is
one of the most important things Charlie and I wanted to teach the girls. So far in her 10 years she has visited
Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. Her favorite states are of course Hawaii,
California, and Texas!
6. She loves animals and has a soft spot in her
heart for them. She would be a
vegetarian if she didn’t love bacon and filet mignon so darn much!
5. She is a quiet girl and always tries to do
the right thing. However, put her in a
room full of her friends and she comes out of her shell and can be the life of
the party!
4. She
loves her California roots. Although she
has lived ½ her life in TX, she was born in Riverside, CA, and I love that she
loves this state. I am so blessed to be
able to raise her near the ocean and the beauty that California has to offer.
3. She
loves her family, even her little sister who annoys her most times. She is very close to her grandparents, her
cousins, and her aunts and uncles. She
loves getting together with family and celebrating the holidays.
2. She thrives in school and LOVES it. She is the only child that I know that cries
on the last day of school. She loves
learning and it shows through her many talents.
She loves to read and is a great reader.
I find that the most intelligent people are the ones who read. Case in point, her father. So glad she followed in his footsteps and not
in mine. Flipping through magazines and
scrolling pinterest does not
intelligence make!
1. The #1 reason I love Sarah is that she is
mine and I see so much of myself in her, so much of her dad in her, so much of
my mom and Nana in her. She is a perfect
mix of so many wonderful qualities and that I am sure will lead her to do great
things, be loved by others, and have a happy and fulfilled life! My sweet Sarah, my first born, will always
have my heart.
