She's Twelve

We celebrated Katlin's 12th birthday on Sunday. Cindy, Shane and Kyann came down from CR. Mary and Donnie, Lloyd and Jeannine , Connor John, Dan and I rounded out the group. She got to open her gifts first. She was happy about that. Teresa had sent her some OU stuff and she was excited about that. She and Dan are not Twinkies however!! She got many other gifts, movies, gift cards, CD's, a new bow for her fiddle, Jeannine made her a letter opener out of wood that was really neat. She got some money too and that is always good.

She got a sewing basket from Aunt Connie and she was thrilled. Her knitting fits in it and now the cats can't get to it.

Here she is with her three layer chocolate and strawberry cake with green frosting. It is what she requested along with strawberry Sneaky Pete Punch.

She was pretty windy and blew all the candles out on one try! After cake and homemade ice cream (thank you Mary) we played some music and then she and Connor went to the park for a while. Dan grilled some hot dogs and we had supper and played some more music. Think she had a good birthday and will celebrate again on Tuesday with her Mom and family.
