12

My girl turned 12!  This is a hard benchmark for this mamma to cross.  She's not a little girl anymore.  She's a young lady, and soon to be woman and I am struggling to accept that!  Good thing is she is just lovely, love her at this age and every age.  She's smart, independent, good, responsible and helpful.  Love my girl and all 12 years of her.

This is how we celebrated . . .

A rainbow cake finale to a special birthday dinner with our friends the Stephensons, not pictured, but I did get a great one of the cake, don't you think? Priorities.

Making iPhone dreams come true for a lucky 12 year-old, even if it was my 4 year-old hand-me-down.

Elephant pants from Singapore, that she pretty much never takes off, except to wash them.
