Katie's 13th birthday

Well, for starters, I cannot believe that I only have one child left who hasn't hit the teen years! Katie is now 13. We had her birthday party last Saturday. She had a hard time deciding on who to invite for her party. So, she invited them all!!! We decided to do a photo scavenger hunt at the mall. It was nice having older girls (Emily, Julia, and Becca) that could help. We divided the 12 girls into 3 groups and Katie's sisters became a chaperone for each group. Katie rotated groups about every 20 minutes so she could spend time with all of them. We then had cupcakes in the food court. We sang "Happy Birthday" to her and the echo was amazing! It also helped that people in the food court sang to her as well.
