Patience is 10!!

That's right, my baby is in double digits.  *sob*  Where has the last decade gone?  Oh, that's right, I spent the first 4 years of it wishing she would hurry up and get older.  Sigh.  She was a tough toddler, that's for sure.  But now she's a real person, and she got to have a party for her 10th birthday.

First, some pictures of how she started off...

Oh my gosh--I miss this...

And possibly my favorite picture of Patience as a baby--she's only 2 months old here...

Okay, back to the present.  Patience three best friends came over on Friday evening, spent the night, and then we went to Build-a-Bear in the Providence Place mall the next day.  The girls all got along great, had a wonderful time, and Patience was just thrilled to have them with her.
