E turns 12

E turns 12 today.  She really has come a long was and is turning into a great young lady.  She even practices the piano most of the time without being reminded.  She is pretty excited about her gifts.  She did pretty well--books, clothes, watch, a matching purse, wallet, and flip flops, and $$$$!  Daddy took her out to Dairy Queen since he is leaving tonight for a Cub Scout campout with Z.  We will have her birthday dinner and cake on Sunday when he is back.  :)  She has also enjoyed talking to those who are calling to wish her a happy birthday.
