Happy Birthday Kate

We were so excited to celebrate Kate and her turning 12.  Here she is with her new lava lamp.  She has been very excited about decorating her room.

Kate wanted an at home birthday party.  Here are all the girls doing an elaborate treasure hunt that Mom made.

Here are all of the girls watching Napoleon Dynamite.
