I can't believe my sweet girl is 12. I remember when she was two and she would pretend she was in Harry Potter casting spells at Joelle (not much has changed there :). Then she was three and she was Frodo and Joelle was Sam. They were so cute together. I am glad they have always been such good friends.
We had a fun day today. She and I and Joelle did a bunch of fun shopping. We all enjoyed lunch at Arby's (minus Dave). I realized after lunch that all Jacob had was a vanilla milk shake. Not quite sure how that happened (sneaky kid :).
In the afternoon, Joelle and I and Emma got all dressed up for our New Beginnings which was all centered around Emma since it was her birthday and she is our only Beehive. David and I took her to dinner at PF Changs while she was all dressed up. While we were at dinner we asked her what she was most excited about turning 12 and/or growing up. She said "I am so excited to go to the temple, I have been waiting for that for so long." I couldn't believe my ears. That might have been one of the best moments of my life as a mother.
New Beginnings was a big hit with Emma and Joelle. They did a little play which was super cute. Emma was in the spotlight the whole time and loved it. She said it was her best birthday ever. I am glad she had fun turning 12.
