I can't believe this girl is twelve. She is growing like a weed. I keep having to buy her new pants because she'll wake up one morning and her pants will barely reach her ankles. Fortunately she's not growing around so I don't have to buy her new shirts as often! She has taken more and more to making teasing jokes, tries really hard to be a good big sister (Carson doesn't make it easy for her), loves volleyball and swimming, likes to draw and do crafts and is OBSESSED with reading. She is crazy smart and ends up reading and doing puzzles at school because she gets through her work so quickly. Her favorite genre is fantasy. I don't know how many people have had to say this to their child but when she was arguing about doing something the other day I had to say "Do I have to take your book away?" It's a great problem to have. Her best friends are Adrienne and Miracle but she's got other people she considers close. She loves middle school and having different teachers and classes. She is very rarely nervous about anything, the only two times I've even heard about it were right before she ran for ASB president (she didn't get it) and yesterday, when she said she was embarrassed to wear the Christmas sweater she chose. Other than that she just doesn't seem to care what other people think. I tease her about her hair (she brushes it and it fluffs up like a big poof ball) she just laughs and says she loves her hair and doesn't care if it's frizzy.
Anyway, we had dinner with Grandma and Papa H and then went home to blow out candles and open presents. We have pretty relaxed birthdays for the kids, fortunately they don't seem to mind not having parties. We're definitely looking forward to seeing what her next year will bring!
