My baby turned 10 on 2/16...look at this face!

[Not_Giving_Up]

(Just don't look at the absence of bangs...she cut them herself!)

[hfojvt]

1. so, she thinks

she's still 5, or somebody shorted her on her present? She should be holding a Hamilton there.
Very cute, but, the red eyes are kinda creepy :scared:
A digital camera should have the "no red eye" flash option, or software which will eliminate it upon editing.

[Not_Giving_Up]

2. Hey, great grandpa is on a budget

My MIL's mother sent her a whole buck. She was just as thrilled.

Yeah, I've got to figure out that red eye thing...my software is quite confusing. I just transferred the pics from the camera to the PC tonight, not a lot of tinker time.

3. Cuteberry Cutestein!

And she's rich!

[Not_Giving_Up]

8. The money was burning a hole in her pocket

She just HAD to spend it. So, she went for Hello Kitty Bubble Bath that smells extremely fruity and drives the cats nuts!

[Oeditpus Rex]

Cute kid

Can she loan me $5?

[Not_Giving_Up]

6. Well, she'd have to take back the Hello Kitty Bubble Bath

and the pink and purple hair doodads first!

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. She spent it on doodads?

Never mind, then. Doodads is important. :thumbsup:

[Not_Giving_Up]

11. HAIR doodads...Not just ANY doodads!

Ponytail holders with an array of fabrics!

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. In that case

I oughta loan her $5. Hair's important. :thumbsup:

[Not_Giving_Up]

13. It's VERY important to her

I don't know how, but I (the tomboy from hell), gave birth to a walking Barbie. No, dear, your mother CANNOT french braid your hair...but I can show you how to throw a ball hard and with great accuracy!

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. If you can teach her to hit, too

it could pay for her college.

You must impress this upon her.

"Honey, if you don't hit at least .420, you'll have to work at McDonald's."

[Not_Giving_Up]

19. LOL...Unfortunately, she has no desire to hit or throw

She prefers to draw, paint, and make things, and is quite the talented artist. I can't draw stick figures, so she got that from her dad. Now, my son on the other hand has learned well, just doesn't want to play organized ball...go figure.

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. I can understand that

In junior high and high school, I played basketball in my freakin' sleep. But I didn't want to go out for the school teams. I was just a rebel that way.

[Not_Giving_Up]

23. Well, my son played soccer for a while

However, he wasn't fitting well with the new team his second year, and quit. Then, he joined the choir at school. Works for me!

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. I was in choir all four years

of high school. Boys' Glee, A Cappella Choir, Vocal Ensemble.

One of the only reasons I kept goin' back.

[RumpusCat]

31. I'm kind of terrified of having a Barbie girl

I'm so butch that even as a little girl people gave me Hot Wheels and GI Joes. What if she asks me to do her hair??? :scared:

[SoCalDem]

4. How Exuberant :)

remember how excited you used to get over a $5 bill :)

What a sweet girl :)

[Not_Giving_Up]

7. Yes, she thought she was rich

She's my happy bubbly excited about everything kid!

[SeattleGirl]

5. What a doll!

Yeah, the eyes are a bit red, but I know that's just the camera. She's a cutie!

[Not_Giving_Up]

9. Thank you!

She keeps reminding me that she's almost a teenager...her brother turned 12 in December...the years ahead are going to be such fun!

[SeattleGirl]

27. I hear you. My "baby" is 26!

I can still remember every single detail of her birth! Oy! But I have to say, she's a lovely young woman, whom I've very proud of.

[WildEyedLiberal]

14. Oh, she's too cute. I remember when I used to get excited over 5 bucks!

Now, when I look in my wallet and see only five bucks, I have pretty much the opposite expression on my face as your daughter.

That's a really sweet pic.

[Not_Giving_Up]

18. Oh, I know....

Five bucks? That's it?? She had a blast that day.

[Fleshdancer]

15. lol, I can't get past the red eyes!

She must be having a great b-day! Who does she get those incredible cheek bones from?

on edit: I hope you don't mind, but I fixed a little of the camera red eye issue...

[Not_Giving_Up]

16. Yeah, I've GOT to figure out how to fix that

She had a great party, complete with a Hello Kitty (of course!) cake. As for the cheekbones, hard for me to say. I have high cheekbones, the Cherokee in me, but I think she looks like my mother in law more than she looks like me. People who've never seen my MIL say they see me in her.

[Fleshdancer]

21. I took a stab at the red eye issue.....

check in my original post to see how it turned out.

My daughter (age 5) LOVES Hello Kitty so I can imagine the cake and decorations for you daughter's b-day!

[SoCalDem]

20. N_G_U.. I cropped & enhanced the pic for you

took the red-eye away and sharpened it up a bit.. hope you don;t mind.. feel free to right click and save..

[Not_Giving_Up]

24. Thanks!

One of these days I'm going to figure this stuff out...My husband usually does that, he's much better at it than I am, but he's sleeping, and I didn't want to wait.

[SoCalDem]

25. Pop this baby on your desktop...

www.irfanview.com

It's free and so easy to use.. Even a novice like me figured it out :)

[elehhhhna]

28. HA! My 10 y/o cut her bang that way last year! LOL

Frankenbangs! I'd tried to forget them.

[bigwillq]

29. Oh, she's so cute!

And rich! :) :hi:

[miss_american_pie]

30. Remember when hitting double digit ages was exciting?

She's a cutie.

[pitohui]

32. is she a vampire?

cripes, photoshop that picture stat! or are those actually red contact lenses?

[Blue Diadem]

33. Awww she's a doll

She's a beauty Mom..and such happiness shows in her expression. You've got a real gem there..enjoy..they grow up all too fast.

[samplegirl]

34. Cutting your own bangs and when Five

Dollars was alot of money! Classic.
