Megan Turns 11!!!

Eeek! Where did time go? I can't believe my oldest baby is eleven and will be in middle school this year! She is getting so grown up! We are so proud of who she is and who she is becoming :) She is intelligent and compassionate and beautiful and we are so lucky to have her as part of our family! Megs, we love you!

Megan picked Chinese take-out for dinner. We picked up her best friend Paula as well :) She got "I can be a pancake maker" Barbie (the top thing on her list for some reason) from us and jewelry from Paula. She also got a big shoe box of Barbie accessories that I used to play with as a child. She's been wanting that box for years, but had to prove to us that she would take care of them and not leave them out where little sisters could eat them (a lot of the stuff is really small and pointy and would not make a fabulous meal).

She picked out a white sheet cake with white frosting and multicolored candies. We decided to only put one candle in the cake because the kids had been using the candles for something and we could only find a few. Twelve candles (one for good luck) would have been harder to blow out anyway :)

She and Paula and Daddy are going out to see the new Percy Jackson movie next week (we're running a bit behind).
