Birthday Time #2

Dear #2,

Tomorrow is your birthday.  You will be 10.  We opened presents up tonight (Your Dad doesn't get the whole "wear your new clothes to school importance"  no worries, I totally get it.) you received a new outfit from Kimmy and some uber cute jeans from dad and I.  The big gift was a new nano.  

Reference:  when you are 30 and reading this amazing journey of your childhood please note that a nano is/was an ipod put out by apple.  It is a small device that holds music, pictures, video, etc..

We had a lovely dinner.  Uncle Danny made a couple of jokes,  #4 refused to put clothes on, and #3 and #1 were just as excited as you were for the presents.  

This is the super cute sweater that Kimmy gave to you.  I bought "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" last month and we have experiencing the baracleness of it all ever since.  May I say here and now, that it may just be the BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME.  I can say I LOVE the following:

1.  Helen Hunts' outfits - in particular the hat with a LARGE cricket.  Also her Catholic school girl outfit that can switch into a pleather / plaid vision of  loveliness.

2.  Sarah Jessica Parkers leotards.  I don't think the sports bra had been invented as of yet, but everything else is uptown.

3.  The music.  I jump and dance around the house the entire time.  DANCE TV!

4.  The dance moves are, how do I say this?        They rock.  Not a little.  A Lot!

5.  Shannon Dorety (can't spell her name - too lazy to check)  as the little sister who ........just wants to be understood.

6.  The snotty rich girl, Natalie, had a closet way beyond 1983.  It was so visionary.  

7.  The final scenes.  Sarah Jess wins the contest and HelHunt gets to be the "new" Ricki.

(Honestly, #1 you are so cute.  The winking, the glasses, the whole getup you make me laugh.)  #2 you were trying out the new video option with your ipod.  

The whole outfit from Kimmy.
