Double Digits

Maya turned 10 this year. As always, it was a much awaited birthday.
A Fur Real cat from grandma. The only kind of cat we are likely to have in this house!
 Ginny Weasley's wand.
 Her own camera! One of the things Maya says she wants to be when she is older is a photographer but I don't like her using my camera. Now she can take all the pictures she wants.

We stayed at Corinne's house the the night before Maya's birthday so she got to wear the birthday hat and have the birthday sign up.
But the most exciting part of Maya's day was getting her ears pierced. She has been begging to get her ears pierced for a few years. She was nervous about the actual process but said afterwards that it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be.
I love this smile. I love this girl.

Maya looks less than thrilled with our birthday hat. What's up with that?

Such excitement! This post had me rushing to check the Otterson Family Directory, thinking I'd missed Maya's birthday. Phew! It was way back in February and I'm sure I did remember after all. Catch up needed, Emma!! Perhaps you can post some of Maya's photos now that she has her own camera.

I'm glad you're back. What an exciting birthday. I can't believe she's in double digits. I remember when she was just a little Turk (don't tell her I said that)

I'm glad you're back blogging again, Emma. Even though we get to see Maya a lot, I still like to look at pictures when I'm connected online on the bus, as I am now!
