The Big 12!

Brynn just celebrated her 12th birthday! Can you believe it?

She is so excited to be almost as tall as her mom...

just half an inch to go!!

 

It's going to take her a little longer to catch up to her dad. :0)

Brynn's birthday activities included a trip to Jungle Adventures with Grandma Carol & Grandpa Bob, a half day at Disney with Adam, and a family birthday party. Here is our fearless girl...

This photo makes me laugh because it is such an odd combination of images...sweet, smiling Ellany and a giant scorpion! She surprised everyone by holding all the scary creatures, just like Brynn.

Brynn had fun throwing darts at these balloons!

I learned how to make tissue paper pom poms...LOVE them!

Ready to start opening...

Brynn drew this picture of Tangerine holding a light saber for her cake. I printed it and made it into a buttercream transfer. Sadly, I had some technical difficulties transferring it onto the cake - so it wasn't perfect. But the cake was yummy...strawberry with lemon buttercream!
