Happy Birthday, Kirsten

We celebrated Kirsten's 11th birthday today with a pool party (in January, and it was snowing a little outside). Sherrie Thomas made this awesome cake for Kirsten. It really is a good as it looks, maybe even better. Her cakes cannot be topped by anyone, anywhere! We had 10 other girls at the party besides Kirsten. Scarlett was sick and could not come, and boy was she upset. Hope you get to feeling better, Scarlett. The others who came were Julie and Olivia, Hannah and Sarah, Martha and Margaret, Catherine, Claire, Sophie and Savannah. They had so much fun in the pool, I thought that I might have to go in after them to get them out. But, they really are all good girls and obeyed right away. They would have stayed all day if they could have. I took lots of pictures and video and Kirsten got some really neat gifts. Her best gift was that all the girls could come and they got to spend time together. I had made a "questionaire" for each girl to fill out about themselves. Then the girls got to guess who each one was. We had three winners with eight correct guesses -- Martha, Julie, and (Catherine or Hannah, I don't remember which). The game was fun and we all learned what each person's likes and dislikes were; such as, food, movies, books, sports and colors. It was a lot of fun to watch their faces as they tried to figure out who everybody was. This definitely will go down as one of Kirsten's favorite parties.
