And... she turned 13 just like that!

     KB turned 13 Friday, December 21st.  She woke up in the town she was born... just a few miles from the hospital.  I wanted to cry... I am sentimental... but I didn't... she won't understand until she has children of her own.  After a long night, we had family over for cake and ice cream to celebrate the "sis" turning 13!  
     My best friends in Greenville gave me a baby shower when I was pregnant with KB.  Not that I didn't appreciate anything I got, but I can only remember that there was a huge dessert tray from Strossner's Bakery... I ate about 10 different desserts... It was delicious.  I felt it was only right to head back there and get her 13th birthday cake. 

 
Uncle Guille comes for cake and ice cream...doesn't matter whose party it is!
 
 
 
 
The birthday girl... I love her simple ways... I want her to be out of the box and be different and bold... but I love her simplicity too! 
 
 
That little patch of grey hair...may turn white after her teenage years!
 
 
 

 
 These two thought playing ball in the house would be a lot of fun... We could have passed out nerve pills at the door...
 By the way... I got a new camera... I need to work on the settings...but I think this is pretty neat... Ben's Clemson ball...
 The birthday girl and her Dabo.... He follows her around and loves her better than Mark... don't tell him... but Dabo thinks Sis is the best!
 He likes James too...getting lots of licks in at the party!

KB's fake uncle.... Mayonaisse... He loved her cake...better than anyone else!  Double chocolate...who wouldn't love that...

 Thomas busy on his Ipod... didn't talk to us... just played his game...
 My two favorite girls... checking out her charm Jane gave her...
 After looking at these pictures, I'm thinking our house is cold...everyone has on a jacket.... Velda interested in the gift opening!
 Two peas in a pod.... love watching tv and being busy doing that instead of focusing on anything else.
 

 I have a much better picture of these three... but I LOVE the fact that Daddy is holding rabbit ears up behind Mama's head...He makes me laugh...every day.... He hates when I make him pose for pictures... I really don't care... One day pictures are all we are going to have... and this shows his sense of humor...
 No make-up.... just as happy as me when we don't have to dress up and be fancy for parties! 
 Hunka Jim had to come get a bite too! 
Jane is recovering from being in the hospital... She looks so much better than this time last week!  I  think this is the first time she has ever sat at my house and visited... I needed her to organize my cabinets... but I guess that can wait until the next visit! 
     KB had a great 13th birthday!  Parties are not my favorite thing... I really don't like them, but being with family is all worth it!  I love making memories! 
     Happy birthday baby girl!  Love you much!
