M Tuns 11

I have an 11 year old daughter. Oh. My. Gosh. She’s a tween! No, really. I’m not panicking about it though 11 does sound a bit awkward.

We celebrated M’s birthday yesterday. Her favorite phrase is “I’m happy!” so T put the candles on her cake in the shape of a smile. She loved it. The birthday girl chose red velvet for her special cake so we also had white cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Since the birthday was celebrated on the same day as A’s baptism, A decided the cupcakes were her “baptism cupcakes.” M thought that was perfect.




M asked for knitting needles and yarn for her birthday. She got a lot of sewing stuff from cousins, her aunt and her grandma. She also got supplies and a craft lesson from her great grandmother. T and I deviated from the craft theme and gave her ramen noodles. No laughing! M is a big fan of Naruto who happens to talk about ramen a lot. She’s been asking for ramen so she could try it. T also gave her the Zune he had been ‘trying out’ for the past few months.

Today, we hung out at home. The girls had a day off school and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. They played in the woods practically all day. M said it was a perfect birthday.
