TWELVE!!!

Apparently a tiara is mandatory on your special day....







London turned twelve today! Amazing that she could possibly be that old. She was very excited to be able to go to school on her birthday...actually the first day back after Spring Break! One bonus was that I had no trouble waking her up for school. Usually her birthday is during Spring Break, so this was pretty special. Cole and I brought her Subway for lunch...no we didn't stay...just quickly handed over the goods and then bolted from the building, just seeing a hall full of eight graders was disturbing enough....thankfully the 6th graders looked much sweeter!

London came home from school and then went and hung out at a friends, went to Jazz, and then came home for a quick dinner of Orange Chicken take out, and then we had Grandma and Grandpa and Nana and Papa over for desert....angelfood cake with fresh whipped cream and strawberries, or as my kids call it "angelpie" She certainly made my life easy today! She received some really special gifts from her grandparents, a cookbook that her grandma was given to her by her mom when she was a girl and a specially hand made treasure box from Nana. The UPS truck delayed her other gift from mom and dad, so that will have to wait until tomorrow, but Cade and Cole gave her some fun gifts as well! Happy Birthday cute London...you are so fun and talented and we love you so much!

Oh, London, what a beautiful young woman you are. It has been a joy watching you grow up these past twelve years. You are definitely a perfect granddaughter. Love you, Nana
