Reese’s 10th birthday- quarantine style

Quarantine is hard! It’s hard not to know when we can have our normal lives back again. It’s hard that soccer season ends this weekend and Ella only got to play 2 games. It’s hard that softball practice was supposed to start last week but it didn’t. It’s really hard that we had to cancel Reeses hotel sleepover last Friday. 

I worried that she would be so sad but she handled it really well. She is sad but she knows we will do something fun when we can to celebrate her birthday with her friends. Since we had to cancel the party (& since Neal was going to use hotel points for the hotel and was able to get a deal with proms being cancelled) Neal decided to arrange to have a limo pick us up Saturday evening to drive us around to say hi to some of her special friends. We also grabbed dinner to eat in the limo. It was so much fun! She says that it is her favorite birthday so far 💜. It is pretty awesome that she will end up getting more celebration this way ☺️. 

Our sweet friend Rachel asked if she could come get pictures of the reveal and I’m so glad that she did!










These are some of the photos we got of the stops we made to see friends. 















We even got to make a stop of Mrs. Bodenstein’s house and that was pretty special to see her teacher after a month of them being apart! ❤️


The Davidsons were our 1st stop and I didn’t have the idea to get pictures with everyone yet so I failed to get a pic with them. Luckily, we’d seen them earlier in the day because they’d egged our house and dropped by a gift for Reese & I got a picture then. 


Saturday evening was a fun celebration!!

Sunday was her actual birthday and Easter. She requested blue pancakes for breakfast and her daddy always delivers.





Easter service looked a little different this year from the couch.


Gigi & Pop got her real diamond earrings for her birthday!


 

We celebrated Easter and Tyler & Reese’s birthday with my dad & the Scantlan’s at the house for Easter lunch. 




It was a weird birthday but I think it is one she will look back on fondly and always remember. We love you so much Reese and we are so proud of you!
