Siena and Aria turned 10 on September 10 this year. That means it was their golden birthday! Golden birthday, a decade old, double digits!
The were a bit sad they had to to go to school on their birthday but we still had a fun day. They of course slept in the same room together and I woke them up early so we could have breakfast, open presents and get Aria to her orchestra practice at school in time. Their class celebrated and we brought treats.
After school we didn't have much time until their party started. I usually don't do their party on their actual birthday but this was about the only day we were able to make it work. All the girls came to our house and we had pizza and opened presents. Then we loaded into the car and went to Airborne trampoline park. They were thrilled they got to go somewhere for their party instead of just doing a party at home. It was a fun time and actually a super easy birthday.
That Sunday we had our family birthday celebrations at my parents house.
I love the girls that Siena and Aria are turning into to. They both love to read and read a lot. In fact we've started letting them read in bed at night and they both read way longer than they should and stay up way too late. As much as I don't want them tired in the morning, I love that they love to read. They both love their guinea pigs Chip and Ozzie and even though Shane and I wish we could give them away, they burst into tears at the very thought of it. It's a chore to get them to clean their cage but they do love playing with them and making things for them, like Halloween costumes, stockings and thanksgiving feasts.
Siena is all about technology right now. She has started making games and escape rooms on her scratch account on her computer and is always looking for escape rooms online that she can complete. She also loves to make little games and things for the family to complete. She'll make up a scavenger hunt, escape room and even started a Halloween 'You've been Booed' game. Siena takes piano and actually enjoys it. I love listening to her play. Siena is often the ring leader of the family, for good and bad sometimes. She has a lot of energy and is loud and crazy but has the cutest laugh. She's inquisitive and never stops talking during movies or tv shows, usually asking questions about what we're watching. For her birthday Siena wanted her ears pierced so the next day after her birthday we went and go her ears pierced. Siena is deathly afraid of shots so I thought she might chicken out but she sat still and didn't flinch at all. She has been really good about keeping her ears cleaned and can change out her earring by herself.
Aria is all about horses. She almost always has a horse book checked out from the library, reads her horse encyclopedia book, draws horses, watches horse tv shows and movies and is always talking about when can we buy her a horse. She has stated writing nightly notes to Shane and I about getting a horse, taking horse lessons and how good she will be if we will just get her a horse. She will even pay all the money she has towards it. It's so cute and makes me sad that we aren't in a situation/house, etc to buy her a horse. It's a very strong dream of hers. Aria takes violin lessons and is in orchestra. She loves to play but has a hard time with the perfectionist piece of what it takes to play the violin just right. She loves to go to her and play by herself from time to time, and is always carrying around some (like 10) stuffed animals, even in the car when we go places. For her birthday we gave Aria a trail ride with her horse instructor. She was so so excited and had a great time riding a horse out in the open.
