WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT TURNING TWELVE?

When Faith was turning seven, she asked me quite thoughtfully. "Mom, I know what is special about turning eight.  What's special about turning seven?"  I did some quick thinking and said, "You can get your ears pierced."

Now, I think about how she's grown so much.  She is probably thinking, "What's special about turning twelve?"  Even though she is not official a teenager, we are excited that she is now officially in Young Women's.  She also surpassed me in height and is the tallest girl in the house.

Faith, we love you so much!  I couldn't help but show everyone your facial expressions!!!  Happy birthday Faith!!!

Strawberry shortcake birthday cake!

Make a wish and blow out your candles!
