This kid got a whole weekend of birthday. First we had her family birthday dinner on Sunday, October 2 at our house. It was nice enough that we ate outside. Uncle T and Aunt Rachel and their families were out of town, so it was just us, the grandparents, Uncle Doug and Great-Grandma Hendricks.
Winnie unwrapping the earrings we bought for her. She also received chalk and an earring holder from Grandma and Grandpa Scott, cash from Grandma Susan and Grandpa Dennis, cash from Uncle Doug. And we let her pick out a phone case and ring from Amazon.

Miriam and Ana putting candles in a cinnamon roll for Winnie. Ana made cinnamon rolls with and without raisins for General Conference, and Winnie decided she just wanted those for her birthday cake.
Then she invited some friends over to watch the movie Sea Beast and eat Little Caesar's on Monday when they didn't have school. Even though we didn't inform her friends it was a birthday get-together. Sheerah still brought cash to give her, and Annalise brought American Girl doll clothes.
Winnie and her friends take turns holding Ginger. Winnie, Annalise, Cora, Nora, Drystin, Sheerah.
Then on her actual birthday, Winnie went to school, then went to the piercing/tattoo parlor to get her ears pierced. She picked out earrings that "looked like opals," then we went to Orange Leaf for a treat.
