Today my little girl turned 12. I can hardly believe it. We were so excited to get a little girl after two boys. It does not seem like it has been 12 years since she was born.
Tonight she and I actually went to Young Women together. She has been waiting and waiting to be able to go. She had a good time. There are 16 girls in her Beehive Class and more turning 12 in the coming months. She has great Beehive leaders so I am sure she will have fun in YW.
Yesterday Caitlin celebrated her birthday inviting friends over for a party. They were out of school so it seemed like the perfect time to have it. We banned the brothers from the house. Caitlin and her friends watched a movie and ate pizza and a whole lot of junk food. They were silly girls. After the movie they played "sardines" for a long time. Dean and I just kind of made ourselves scarce and stayed out of their way. Caitlin had a good time with some good friends.
Girls at the party.
After the girls got to our house I took their picture then e-mailed them to Wal Mart for their one hour printing then sent them home with the girls in these cute frames. The girls thought that was pretty cool.
Today she had to go to school. She said she was sung Happy Birthday to in three classes and at lunch. She was complaining about it, but I know she really did enjoy it. After school she decorated her own birthday cake at her request. It really looked like a "Caitlin" cake.
We really weren't sure what to call the cake, or what kind it turned out to be, but she loved it!!
We had birthday dinner tonight (chicken Parmesan and garlic bread.....her favorite). Then went to YW.
She got some fun presents, including a digital camera (even pink, and surprisingly she likes it) from Mom and Dad. I think she had a pretty good couple of days.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAITLIN......We sure love you lots!!

Happy Birthday to Caitlin!!
What a fun party, and what a cute bunch of girls. The cake is cool! It will be fun to be in YW with her. You have a lot of YW. We only have 3 beehives, with one coming in in March, and one in May, and than no one until next year.
Caitlin will love YW's, FUN< FUN!!
Happy Birthday Caitlin! I can't believe she is 12 already. I remember when we first moved in she was just a toddler. Wow! time sure flies. I can't believe there are 16 girls in her beehive class. We don't even have 16 girls in our whole young womens. I bet your family is loving a big ward. We still miss you guys.
It sounds like the party was pretty easy. That's why I liked doing girl ones and taking the boys somewhere else for their parties. Can you believe our kids are growing up so fast.
What?!?!? She is 12????
Oh my gosh. I can't believe it.
Tell her she is still as "dorky" today as she was back when we were neighbors! I love that girl!!!
Happy Birthday Caitlin! Your party looked really fun. I wish I got to see you more often! I'm really excited for this summer!!!
What a cool cake! Is is a volcano? I'm glad Caitlin had such a fun birthday. And Leisa, you are so creative! Love you lots!
Stacia love, love, loved the party. The pictures you sent home were awesome!
