Norah turns 10!

For Norah's 10th birthday, she had lots of plans for what she wanted to do.  Ever since we went bowling and to the arcade with a church group last summer, she knew that was what she wanted to do with family for her birthday.  My parents were able to come to join us at Bowlero, and we enjoyed bowling, pizza, and time in the arcade:

We came back to our house for some DQ cake:

Norah's actual birthday was going to be busy in the evening, so Norah was happy to be able to open presents the night before:

The weekend after her birthday, she celebrated with three friends:  Addy, Breia, and Emma.  The girls came over for cupcakes and presents, then we went up to volunteer at Feed My Starving Children, which is always so much fun.  Afterwards, we ate pizza at Davanni's before dropping Breia and Emma off at home.  Addy spent the night at our house and the girls loved watching a movie in Abby's bedroom in their matching pajamas!

At age 10, Norah is quiet around others she doesn't know as well, but loves to talk at home, LOVES reading and is obsessed with Harry Potter books, loves to take Sadie for walks, loves all dogs in general, is definitely a homebody, and has so much empathy for others.
