Oh to be 12 again (and again and again!)

Reilly attempting to record the birthday... Nora wanting to record!

loving on Aunt Shelby and "Aunt" Flucy...

having fun with the boys' glow in the dark frisbee!

So my first baby girl is in her last year of "not being a teen!"  We celebrated Mally style... with the family and with the friends and then a little more, after all you are only 12 once!  She had a ball celebrating on her BIG day by taking homemade rice krispy treats to her friends (a Mally safe birthday treat!)  then dinner of her choice (sweedish meatballs) and cake with grandmommies and aunts (we missed Pap who wasn't feeling good)...

and the friends... told Mally she could have a few friends for a sleepover.  She is really good friends with triplets (you do the math!), gave in to a couple more...silly pjs, girly movies, decorating pillowcases, making earrings, bracelets and friendship pins and lots of singing!  They were all great at including Nora.  For some reason Flynn and the boys went out!?!?
