Finally, double digits! It was a fantastic day. After finishing virtual school (with very little work today, as she had strategically saved her "work pass" rewards throughout the year to use all on her birthday), Gay and Ed came over. For her birthday she received stocks in her favorite company (Blizzard Activision), a new mattress, a crossbow, and other fun items. We had 2 delicious cakes (chocolate chip and marble), enjoyed a fun sign in the front yard, and had delivery from Izakaya for dinner. It was a perfect day.

Today was Lizzy's virtual graduation from 4th grade. While she still has a few days left next week, the class did a nice Zoom celebration.

After school ended for the day, she went to Gay and Ed's to get her graduation gift. Her new golf cart!
She's also quite adept at her crossbow, firing with alarming accuracy each time.

After over a year, she's lost another tooth! She always has been concerned about the Tooth Fairy absconding with her teeth, so she always requests that it is left behind.

Fifth grade will be all virtual again this year, and she is thrilled. Her class is a 100% virtual cohort, led by a dedicated 100% teacher. Even better, it's a combined 5th and 6th grade class, so she'll be learning some 6th grade content. Hooray for another year of thriving!

Today we were in the Markleville parade, having decorated the golf cart to match the sunflower theme. She had the best time tossing candy to the parade viewers!

After 2 years of no vacations and feeling a little stir crazy, we have decided to buy a boat. We took posession, so went out for our first little adventure. Thumbs up!

Lizzy had designed a dragon-wolf hybrid costume several months ago, and we had the costume designer who had done her Arya costime in 2019 bring it to life. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. She LOVED this costume, and got so many compliments while trick-or-treating!

She has never been so excited to get a vaccine before this. What a day to celebrate! One down, one more to go in 3 weeks.

Things have been going well for Lizzy. She's enjoyed virtual 5th grade, her animation skills continue to improve, her YouTube channel has thousands of views, and today we bought a new house! She'll have the entire upstairs to herself, with her own separate office to do school in. We're all very happy!
