McKell:)

Miss McKell turned 12 years old in April.  She has grown up too fast.  She wanted to have a big birthday bash - so we did.  April was really busy with dance competitions and everything else, but we managed to squeeze in a fun party after school one day.  She wanted to have a swimming party - and luckily with a few connections we were able to use the pool at a hotel and swim, have snacks and open gifts.  Also, McKell and I got to spend the night at the hotel which was super fun!

Leah, McKell and Berkley in the pool

Also, the hot tub was lots of fun!

More fun in a full hot tub

McKell has sweet friends and got so many great gifts

McKell kept saying she wanted a nerf gun - a complete surprise to me,
but Berkley got her one and it is pretty cool

Lots, and lots of laughter

All 15 girls = lots of fun and noise:)

Meg, Berkley and Emma decorated her room.
McKell was surprised to come home from school and find them hiding
and her room full of sweet posters and tons of toilet paper.

And last, dinner with the 4 of us at Texas Roadhouse - yum!
