Katy in Wonderland

My firstborn turned 12 this week.


She is such a wonderful blessing to our family.

----------------------------------

To mark this momentous occasion,
I took a bunch of 6th grade girls to see Alice in Wonderland.


Here they were watching all the 3-D previews...
I'd never take a flash picture during the movies!


Wait a second, how did this boy sneak in?


We had a little pizza and ice cream cake.
I think Claire really enjoyed hers.


Thankfully all the girls brought their cameras,
I mean cell phones so we could get pictures up on Facebook, ASAP!



Then on Wednesday night we went to Phantom of the Opera with some kids from her drama class...


Ivy and Katy


Did I mention she got an ipod nano...
she was so surprised and excited!



Til next year - Happy Birthday Katybug!
