It's the little moments that make life big.

I know I'm behind, so let's catch up. Sidney turned 11 on March 4th. She had many celebrations. First, on the day of, we celebrated by bringing in huge snickerdoodle cookies to her classroom at school. That evening, at home in Lake Stevens, we had some friends over and I made Sidney one of her favorite dinners...lasagne. We had cupcakes, per Sidney's request and she was spoiled with many gifts. The following Sunday, we had a Birthday party for her in Olympia in order to celebrate with friends and family in that area. Again, a dinner request from Sidney was made and we had cupcakes for dessert. Then, a showering of gifts. If you can believe it, a third celebration occurred the following weekend at the local Movie Theater with a group of her girlfriends. They were all given tokens to play video games in the lobby area, a tour of the projection room and reserved special seating for the movie, with personally served popcorn, soda and treats. Sidney got to start the movie herself up in the projection room. It was a neat and fun experience. They watched Alice in Wonderland in 3-D. We had a great time!
