Courtney's 12th Birthday

It's hard to believe that our little girl is now 12! It just seems like a year or two ago when she was born. Where does the time go? She is so happy and lets me know daily that she is no longer a little girl. She is excited to be in Young Women's at church and be with the older girls. It is fun to see the transition.

We had our typical pizza dinner with strawberry cake and rainbow sherbet ice cream. She was so excited to get the Wheel of Fortune wii game. She LOVES Wheel of Fortune!


12 things about Courtney

1 - She loves to laugh!
2 - She is very structured. When the clock says a certain time, she moves on to whatever needs to be done.
3 - She is always on time. She gets up, dressed and ready to go to school without any promptings.
4 - She is very helpful - especially to her mom.
5 - She always asks how everyone else is doing. She is very caring.
6 - She loves babies!
7 - She loves spending one on one time with her mom or dad.
8 - She is very loving. She loves to give hugs.
9 - She loves playing with her brother, Jared. They are best friends.
10 - Even though she is little, she can pack away a ton of food.
11 - Her favorite food is pizza and pretzels.
12 - She will always be our "little girl" - but we will enjoy watching her grow into a beautiful young woman.

Happy birthday Courtney! You're going to LOVE young women's. If you love pretzels, you should ask your mom to melt you some chocolate chips and dip them. They're even better. That's what I'm eating RIGHT NOW!!...and not sharing :)
