Halle turned 12 this month. She experienced her first birthday celebration with just her family. We are having to learn to celebrate by ourselves since our family isnt here with us. However Halle had a party with her friends and they they all got their toes done. I didnt take a single pic of the whole night. However here is what we did on her official birthday.

Halle picked the drink for the evening. Grape crush, since purple is her favorite color right now.

Beef larb (a thai dish that Tony makes) and sticky rice.

Purple cake

Halle got two hermit crabs for her birthday.

Halle is growing up so quickly. I keep asking her to stop getting older and she agrees that would be a good idea, but we cant seem to stop the process. Halle is now in Young Womens, which she likes going to her mutual, but she thinks her Sunday class is a little boring. Halle is playing club soccer. She is also playing volleyball for her school. Halle is still playing the piano. We are so proud of Halle, she is a big help with her siblings and she is becoming a great babysitter. She had her first babysitting job and she likes making her own money.
