Someone turns 12!

We had a BIG birthday here.

Sister Too wanted a vanilla cake.

BORING!




I decided she should have a vanilla rainbow cake.
With lemon cream cheese icing.
Not too sweet.

Oh, my heavens!



Beautiful!

She was so happy.

So were the neighbors,
who got a healthy chunk.

Let's face it, 
we don't need a whole 6 layer cake to ourselves!




*Notice the watch Sister gave.  No, she's not technically blind,
giant watches are ALL THE RAGE,
don't you know.

12 means you can get your ears pierced.

That might not have been okay if we had any brothers living here.
But we don't.

Mr. is really fond of the X chromosome.


Before:


And.....

After!







Purple.  
My birthstone.
Selected NOT to honor me,
but to match her Converse sneakers.

NOT for Justin Bieber (who's favorite color is purple).



There she is,
12,
with a bag full of ear cleaner,
and birthday swag she scored.
