We finally celebrated Charlotte turning 12!

Charlotte is our only kiddo who consistently wants to have a birthday party.  Since we had so much going on with Fall sports, house guests, and Halloween, I asked her to wait a few weeks to celebrate.  So this past Saturday she had a few girlfriends over to play games, have lunch, and just hang out together.  She was a very happy girl.

I can't believe they fit four people on this Twister board.

For lunch, Charlotte requested a sandwich bar and pomegranates.  I added popcorn to try to round out the menu a little.

Just Dance on the Wii, bouncing on the trampoline, and a lot of giggling... I think they had fun.

And finally "fudgy chocolate cake" as requested.

Charlotte is a great big sister and friend. She loves having just a few good friends in her group and is happy spending time on her own reading, or re-reading, a good book. I admire her ability to be herself in any situation and be true to her ideals. She is honest, kind, smart, and funny.  We are so thankful to have her as part of our family.
