An early birthday celebration

Kathryn turns 13 in early July, but due to our vacation and Kathryn's custody schedule (she's spending July with her mom) we had Kathryn's birthday party a few weeks early. We're still planning some family stuff closer to the actual day.

Loni, Kathryn and Grace at Fuddruckers. It was early and the place wasn't crowded so we let them have the Elvis booth to themselves.
Grace's oldest sister, Bethany, bought Kathryn a milkshake and the girls shared.
Rob and I have schmaltzy moment.

Birthday cupcakes and candles.
Kathryn opens gifts at home - a new monogrammed duffle bag (yes, that was a parental present, we'll have more fun gifts later), money for books and a fabric decoration kit.


The girls take a little of our birthday advice to Tara and dance like no one is watching.

oh my goodness, I see skin! She's growing up too fast. I mentioned 13 to Mike last night and he looked at me really strange and said, "what happened to 8?"

Whatever was in there heads, there was no music. (There were a few ideas thrown out regarding the Tara post and this was one of the photos we didn't use)
