12.


My baby is twelve.
Still trying to wrap my brain around that reality.

she's crafty.


she's a Belieber.
I am NOT.
I didn't purchase this gift; Hunter did.
I am NOT A FAN.
Hunter spoils her.

I let her ice the cake.
BIG MISTAKE.

She ate more of the icing than she actually put on the cake!
FAIL. 
 
I LOVE her friends.  They are smart and friendly and funny!
In our family we celebrate birthdays for a week or two.  She celebrated at her dad's, here at home on Thursday night, again tonight with friends, and tomorrow evening we'll be celebrating with my family.

I've thrown some pretty awesome theme parties for Elayna in previous years.

One year it was a 50's Party.  Another year it was a Tea Party.
This year, I was a slacker and we didn't have a theme.  We've already decided to start planning an awesome theme party next year for the big THIRTEEN!  I'm thinking MARDI GRAS theme.  It's gonna be a blast!

Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend.
