Amberito turns 10!

Everyone knows the Martins have a few birthdays in January. On the the 13th, our y2k gift turned 10 - Happy Birthday Amber!

As everyone likely knows already, the celebration started at 6am, a prayer for the day, and sang happy birthday to wake her (they will likely grow out of enjoying this...). Then pancakes abound. Nana and papa joined us and presented Amber with her first BB Gun (pink daisey red rider). She also recieved a desired cash gift from her parents and TT and Korey.

Importantly, this was Ambers 10th birthday and it was important to demonstrate a right of passage and celebration. 4 years earlier, after denying earings to my daughter, her mother and I were delighted to present the opportunity. She now has beautifully pierced ears!

Ambers pierced ears!!! Light blue to match her beautiful eyes.

We ended the day with a family dinner with the Carrols, nana, papa and the rest of the fam. We did some dancing and horsing around the rest of the night and stayed up late on a school night!

The kids getting funky with TT in tow!

Amber - your name is so fitting. You are truly a jewel to us all. We thank and praise God continually for the gift of you sweetheart. Happy Birthday Amberito!
