Her birthday was on a Saturday which worked great. We celebrated as a family that morning and then she had a party with her friends that afternoon.
Her gift this year (that both sets of grandparents and we contributed to) was an archery bow, target, arrows, etc. She's really enjoyed archery this last year but it will be really helpful if she can practice at home. (Until now she just practices after school, only shooting a few times because of everyone sharing the bows.)
She got a book series she's been wanting from Uncle Mark.
She requested crepes for breakfast.
And then promptly went outside, on a very cold day, to practice with her new bow.
That afternoon we had 14 girls over for a painting party. We watched a step-by-step video on Youtube and everyone got to work.
She requested a lemon Nothing Bundt Cake and since she turned 12, I obliged :) We also had pizza, which the girls devoured. I was afraid we were going to run out! Pink lemonade and candy, of course (all were her idea.)
Happy Birthday to our sweet 12 year old!
Brecken says to tell Amy Happy Belated Birthday!! :)
