I can't believe she is 11!

Sera turned 11 on the 11th. Or as she likes to call it her "Golden Birthday"! She wasn't suppose to have a party this year but I told her she could have a couple of friends over for a swim/007 party. The girls all slept over after and stayed up until 2 am. I guess they are preparing me for the fast approaching teen years.
Here is the cute group! Or at least how it started. After swimming we went out front to begin our game of 007! As we got the spot light out and a few of the neighborhood kids we had invited joined us, the group just kept growing. I think at one point we were searching for at least 25 kids. It was a great time. It was great for Sera who tends to be a little shy. She loved it.
This is Sera after her family dinner the next night.
Opening her amazing quilt my friend Brenda made for her.
Here she is with her new cell/emergency phone. It isn't a full cell. Just the kind that can call a few numbers. She thought we had wrapped a fake phone to give her. Now that she knows it was real she is loving it.

A few things about Sera:
She is very tender and sweet
She loves to cuddle and have her back scratched
She loved clothes with a little rock and roll edge to them
She still loves to wear crazy socks
She loves to spend time with her Grandparents
She is the student body secretary at school
She loves to cook
She is in club swim
She loves to run
She loves to play the Piano (finally)
Her favorite color is Teal
She is extremely responsible

We are very lucky to have Sera in our family. Happy Birthday Princess we love you!!
