ChristusG Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 DD is turning 10 in April....now that Christmas is over, I want to begin planning. I'm a planner LOL. Now that she's going into the double digits, I want it to be a special party. She's very shy and quiet and has never had very many friends. She has a few this year that she's made. I was thinking on letting her have a friend party on the weekend with the theme of her choice (right now it's looking like Minecraft could win out). Then I was thinking of taking her out on her actual birthday, just with her dad and I. I'll see if my mom can watch my other two kids. I thought that one on one parent time might be fun since she doesn't get much of that. We'll do lunch and maybe an activity of her choice. She'll get 10 gifts to open (ranging from small to bigger, of course.....can't have all ten be expensive things). And I wanted to use this opportunity to start a mom/daughter journal with her. One of those that we pass back and forth and write things to each other. She will LOVE this. Any other ideas to make the 10th birthday a special one? I want to set the standard where our other two will look forward to their own 10th birthdays as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Boo boo just turned 10 and we let her have her first non-profit family sleepover. She had two lovely friends over and they had a great time. Then, I made her favorite strawberry pancakes for them the next morning. She loved it.

Ottakee Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 If she doesn't already have her ears pierced and is wanting that 10 is a nice age for that.......as well as the first "bra". 10 is also a good age to do a weekend get away with mom to discuss more of the facts of life, puberty, upcoming changes, etc. For a birthday though, some hotels will do a pool party where you can have a room with a few girls overnight or just come and swim and have pizza, etc. for a few hours. That might be a hit--esp. if you are in an area where it is cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsTheDay Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 When I just saw the subject of your post, I thought about the 10 gifts to make it special. :party: ETA: I thought that you were going to do ALL of those things when I responded the first time. When I reread and saw that you were just considering different possibilities, I edited my answer. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
