Don't you wish you were 11 again?

Even though Jacqui's birthday was in December, we still wanted to celebrate with her friends here in North Carolina so we had a birthday party for her! We had 6 preteen girls running around here - as you can imagine, Ski wanted to be as far away as possible and went across the street to watch the UFC fight where the estrogen levels were 95% lower.

Here she is opening her gifts.

The highlight of her birthday was all the webkinz that she got this year. She has 4 of them now.

To keep them busy we did a couple little projects. She wanted to make picture frames so everyone would have something to take home and remember her birthday by.

Here is the finished product.

This is the picture we put in all of the frames!

Instead of a cake, we decided to make cupcakes and let all the girls decorate them.

This was a great idea and they all worked so hard to show their creativity!

Because the stores bring out all of the Valentines stuff the day after Christmas, our only options as far as decorations was red and white.

Then it was time for them to stuff their face!

After they were done with their projects, they decided they were all too cool to hang out with me and went to dance in Jacqui's room. I'll have you know I can do soldier boy just as good if not better...but that's okay! I stayed behind my camera and tried not to "embarrass" her.
