A Dozen

I'm still pinching myself that Greer is actually 12!

Guess it is true in that about a dozen of the girls from

our church came over to decorate her room as a birthday surprise.

 I love this very sweet tradition and clearly, so does our girl.

She's having friends over Friday night-- but

opened a few cards and gifts tonight.

 Don't ask me why... but she's wanted a pair

of suspenders for about forever.  I'm afraid we'll

be seeing these on her every day from here on out.

 Of course, we had to have her favorite dinner

and a little cake.

 Speaking of cake, you'd think Boy Wonder

would be all over that.

Nope, he continued his aversion to food from yesterday--

hardly eating anything today.

My friend Calene came over this evening (well after dinner)

to bring Greer a gift.

And somehow we got Kean to eat some chicken and cake--

while he was swinging!!

Hey, whatever it takes, right?
