Linsey's 10th Birthday!
A new bike and a fun party, what more could a girl want?
Linsey loves how her teacher at school has a raffle so we came up with some fun ideas and had a raffle birthday party. Each of the girls got raffle tickets with their invitation and also a list of some other ways they could earn extra tickets. 
Simple things like wear a fashion scarf or be one of the first 5 guests to the party (they started coming 40 minutes early), or wear Linsey's favorite colors (turquoise and green). We also awarded an extra ticket to the person who brought the heaviest gift, had the cutest hair-do, and wore the most jewelry. I didn't expect all the girls to get into it as much as they did, but it really turned out to be a lot of fun!
We played some fun games and the girls continued to earn more and more tickets....
...until finally it was time to do our raffle.
Linsey had fun holding out each prize and drawing the winners.
Then it was time for cake and ice cream.
Since Linsey loves soccer, we made soccer ball cupcakes.
Linsey has lots of great friends and got so many fun, thoughtful gifts. Another way the girls could earn an extra raffle ticket was to make Linsey a homemade card, which they all did. So sweet.
Linsey has been putting together a scrapbook (she got a scrapbook kit from one of her friends), and she is including each card, they really do mean a lot to her. Because everyone knew Linsey's favorite colors (they earned extra tickets for wearing them), she got clothes, nail polish, jewelry, hair accessories, lotions and other fun things all in turquoise and green. It was perfect!
Aunt Bri took Linsey shopping for her birthday gift. They went to Linsey's favorite store and between a gift card Linsey got from her friend and Aunt Bri's generosity, she got a whole new outfit!Linsey is a wonderful daughter and I love spending time with her. She is a great sister to Hunter and Emma and she is a huge help with Austin. We love her so much. Happy Birthday!

It is funny because Talia just turned 10 and also got a new bike for her birthday. Her favorite colors are green and turqouise also. Can you believe we have 10 year olds? It seems like yesterday that they were just born. Time sure does fly by.
Wow!
What a fun party idea! Such a cute bunch of girls!

What a cute party! I love the colors and raffle ideas. I'm so glad Alyssa got to be a part of it. We were thinking of and talking about Linsey on her official birthday. Hope that was lots of fun, too.
