A turned 12!
Where did the time go?
The celebration lasted over a week!
The celebration lasted over a week!
Our plans for the day were to relax and play
and then have my parents over for A's request:
homemade pizza & Wii Family Fun!
But, on a whim,
and she and her lovely mama spent the day with us :)
Three kinds of homemade pizza :-)
A had requested THE BIG COOKIE
We loaded slices with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup & maraschino cherries!
My brother and sister-in-law gave her an itunes gift card :)
She had a blast picking out apps and music!
Her godmom, Jason's cousin sent her an Amazon gift card
~perfect for a girl who LOVES to read!~
A had a blast being able to get ANYTHING she wanted!
Then was excited for it to arrive!
She ordered her favorite book
and
a car for her dollhouse.
My girls {still} love their dollhouses.
We alternate one big party with friends one year and
a family outing of the birthday girl's choice the next year.
This year was family outing year.
I had thought a weekend in Boston...or Newport Rhode Island?
Perhaps Philadelphia?
But A - sweet girl that she is - wanted to be with my Uncle,
so she picked going to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art
with my Uncle :-)
Then we had dinner at my Aunt's apartment :-)
There was cake...
There were more gifts...
Agggghhhh!
How did this happen?
