Nine

Yesterday was

Sydney's big day.

9 years old.

And she got some royal treatment.

She got taken to lunch

at McDonald's.
Where she ordered an adult meal

so she could have the parfait on the side.

They are good.

Dinner was spent

at the bowling alley.

They even decorated the lane for her. I didn't know you could decorate lanes.
But, apparently, you can.
It was nice.

The girl of honor
got to bowl first.

London got to use

one of those things

you roll the ball off of.

She rocked it.

She pretty much had the

leading score

the whole game.

We came home and Syd

blew out her candle

and opened her presents.

She got several

cute homemade cards

from family members.

She received new

bedding and accessories

for her room.

Now, she says, she will

sleep like a princess.
