Pig

We are getting ready for a 10th birthday celebration. M is turning 10. It's a big deal for us for several reasons. She is going to be a decade old, she now celebrates with double digits, and she is a pre-teen(and acts like it too). Different families have different traditions so it's always interesting to see what everyone does to celebrate their kid's birthday. We have decided that our kids get small birthday celebrations most of the time and then when the big years come up, we will do our best to pull out all the stops. The 10th year counts as the big year. M wanted a luau in Seaside so that's the plan. She has 3 of her friends coming with us plus family. There will be hula skirts, dancing, singing, screaming and playing involved. She is so excited. She has made a list of all the things she wants to do in Seaside as well as on the beach and at the house. Between you and me, I think she won't get through most of it but we'll try. She also wants a luau style dinner. We are thinking Leanne and Billi might get upset if we dig a fire pit in the back yard to roast a pig so we'll use the big turkey roaster instead and we'll use a pork roast instead of the whole pig. We are really looking forward to the weekend. I can't wait to see how everything turns out.
